[patch] Eliminate dynamic/variable arrays

[Ralf Corsepius]

Hi,

The patch below addresses 2 issues in apt-shell:

* Eliminate usage of variable arrays in apt-shell.c
These are non-portable.

Variable arrays are a GCC extension to C++ and will cause some non-c++
compilers to refuse compiling the code (G++ warns about them in higher
warning levels).

I am replacing them with std::vectors by brute force, to keep the risk
of accidentally breaking something low, though using std::string would
be a more elegant approach at least in some cases.

* Replace a dynamically allocated array by a vector.
This patch is a bit stylish, but ... I hate arrays in C++;)

Ralf
