Description
This is the residual of https://github.com/Vector35/binaryninja-api/issues/1937. I previously suggested that we should provide a way to enlarge/shrink the size of an array using the +/- key, but - is already used for switching the sign of an integer variable. So we will need to pick a different key. Nevertheless, I think the functionality is worthy to have.

Research direction
Start by reading the residual issue #1937 and inspecting the linear view's existing handling of the - key for integer sign changes. Determine an alternative key and implement array resizing in both directions; done means an array data variable can be enlarged or shrunk without conflicting with sign switching.
