Log message:
Code to invoke constructors for sequence elements that are variable
length types.

Highlights:
- There are now leaf sequence classes:
class SequenceTmplForVarLengthElem
class SequenceTmplForFixedLengthElem
class BoundedSequenceTmplForVarLengthElem
class BoundedSequenceTmplForFixedLengthElem

(it may be possible to factor these better)

Sequence memory allocation for variable length types is now done via
a specialised operator new[]();

I've hardcoded the operator new[] control block size in
orb/constants.hh - this really needs to be determined by a configure
macro.

Basically this is a 'checkpoint' checkin, and uses a nasty hack which
relies on the format of the operator new[] control block, so it
probably only works on 32 bit machines using gcc 2.95.2.  I'll work on
some code to fix that and make it portable in the next checkin.
