LUCENE-5844: ArrayUtil.grow/oversize now returns at most Integer.MAX_VALUE - 8

> ArrayUtil.grow should not pretend you can actually allocate 
> array[Integer.MAX_VALUE]

> Today if the growth it wants would exceed Integer.MAX_VALUE, it returns 
> Integer.MAX_VALUE, but you can't actually allocate arrays this large; the 
> actual limit is JVM dependent and varies across JVMs ...
> It would be nice if we could somehow "introspect" the JVM to find out what 
> its  actual limit is and use that.  
> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3038392/do-java-arrays-have-a-maximum-size 
> seems to imply that using Integer.MAX_VALUE - 8 may be "safe" (it's what 
> ArrayList.java apparently uses).
