Guido van Rossum a0867f79bb Optimizations for bytes reallocation.
This uses up to 12.5% overallocation, not entirely unlike list_resize().
Could probably use more tweaks for odd allocation patterns, TBD.

Also add __alloc__() method which returns the actually allocated size.

PS. I'm now convinced that we need something like "".join(); later.
