This patch implements the remove item function for dynarray array.
It is a costly operation, since it requires a memory move operation
possible as large as the array size less one element.

Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu.

	* malloc/dynarray-skeleton.c: List remove as defined function.
	((DYNARRAY_PREFIX##remove): New function.
	* malloc/tst-dynarray.c (test_int): Add tests for remove function.
	(check_int, check_int_array): New functions.

If preserving order is not required, then removing an element is as
cheap as moving only the last element to the position of the removed.

If order preservation, is, in fact, part of the intended interface,
then shouldn't the new function be named like '..._ordered_remove'
to reflect that?

I see dynarray works similar to c++ vector container and the remove
usage on subsequent patch expects order preservation.  So I would
prefer to use the other way around your suggestion: to add a
unordered_remove if the case.
