This is a common thing to do, so create a macro.
Unfortunately, it still needs the type arg, because the paramter may
be const, and the return cannot be, and C doesn't have a general
"(-const)" cast.

We can be spammy, which is good for tests, but bad for our simple message queue.
This avoids breaking our tests but also avoid the worst case (1M entries and counting!)
for gossip status messages in the case where we're syncing a large peer.

Christian and I both unwittingly used it in form:
*tal_arr_expand(&x) = tal(x, ...)
Since '=' isn't a sequence point, the compiler can (and does!) cache
the value of x, handing it to tal *after* tal_arr_expand() moves it
due to tal_resize().
The new version is somewhat less convenient to use, but doesn't have
this problem, since the assignment is always evaluated after the
resize.

This way there's no need for a context pointer, and freeing a msg_queue
frees its contents, as expected.

We do this a lot, and had boutique helpers in various places. So add
a more generic one; for convenience it returns a pointer to the new
end element.
I prefer the name tal_arr_expand to tal_arr_append, since it's up to
the caller to populate the new array entry.

tal_count() is used where there's a type, even if it's char or u8, and
tal_bytelen() is going to replace tal_len() for clarity: it's only needed
where a pointer is void.
We shim tal_bytelen() for now.

We have some duplication in handling queues, so this is an attempt at
deduplicating some of that work. `daemon_conn` now uses the
`msg_queue` and `channeld` was also migrated to `msg_queue`. At the
same time I made `msg_queue` create a copy of the messages or takes
over messages marked with `take()`. This should make cleaning up
messages easier.
