<h3>EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES is optional</h3>
<p>
With this change libca, RSRV, and PCAS no longer need to use EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES
to set a maximum allocation size.
The large array free-list is replaced with individual allocations
when a send/receiver buffer larger than 16KB is needed.
Add new configuration parameter EPICS_CA_AUTO_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES which defaults to NO.
libca and RSRV respect EPICS_CA_AUTO_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES=YES.
PCAS ignores EPICS_CA_AUTO_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES=YES, and thus now ignores EPICS_CA_MAX_ARRAY_BYTES entirely.
</p>
<h3>Channel Access "modernization"</h3>
<p>Drop support for CA clients advertising protocol versions less than 4.</p>
