[PATCH v2] REFTABLE_REALLOC_ARRAY: remove this unsafe yet unused macro

["Lidong Yan via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Lidong Yan <502024330056@smail.nju.edu.cn>

REFTABLE_REALLOC_ARRAY will cause memory leak if realloc failed.
Since it is unused, remove this unsafe macro.

    REFTABLE_REALLOC_ARRAY: fix potential memory leak if realloc failed
    
    REFTABLE_REALLOC_ARRAY doesn't free origin pointer when reftable_realloc
    failed. This leak can be fixed by add a free(x) before set x to NULL.
