Re: [PATCH 3/3] ref-filter: factor ref_array pushing into its own function

> In preparation for callers constructing their own ref_array
> structs, let's move our own internal push operation into its
> own function.
>
> While we're at it, we can replace REALLOC_ARRAY() with
> ALLOC_GROW(), which should give the growth operation
> amortized linear complexity (as opposed to growing by one,
> which is potentially quadratic, though in-place realloc
> growth often makes this faster in practice).
