[PATCH 5/6] ptrlist: make linearize_ptr_list() generic

[Luc Van Oostenryck <luc.vanoostenryck@gmail.com>]

The ptrlist API has a function to copy the elements of a ptrlist
into an array but it's not typed and thus needs a wrapper (or casts)
for each type it's used for. Also, 'linearize' is confusing since
this is unrelated to Sparse's linearization.

Simplify this by adding a generic (but type-safe) macro for this
(and changing the name): ptr_list_to_array()
