Add make_vector and make_nil_vector

This makes the callers a bit easier to read, and doubtless
improves efficiency very slightly.  It also simplifies
possible future changes to allow bignum indexes to buffers.
* src/alloc.c (allocate_vectorlike):
Prefer ptrdiff_t to size_t when either will do.
(make_vector): New function.
(Fmake_vector): Use it.
* src/buffer.c (syms_of_buffer):
* src/bytecode.c (syms_of_bytecode):
* src/category.c (Fmake_category_table, init_category_once):
* src/ccl.c (syms_of_ccl):
* src/character.c (syms_of_character):
* src/charset.c (Fdefine_charset_internal)

* src/keyboard.c (modify_event_symbol, menu_bar_items)
(parse_menu_item, parse_tool_bar_item, init_tool_bar_items)

* src/keymap.c (Fdefine_key, describe_map, describe_vector):

(Fx_display_monitor_attributes_list):
* src/xfont.c (syms_of_xfont):
* src/xselect.c (x_handle_dnd_message):
* src/xwidget.c (save_script_callback):
Prefer make_nil_vector (N) to Fmake_vector (make_fixnum (N), Qnil).

* src/lread.c (init_obarray):
* src/profiler.c (make_log, Fprofiler_cpu_log):
* src/term.c (term_get_fkeys_1):
Prefer make_vector (N, V) to Fmake_vector (make_fixnum (N), V).
* src/font.c (build_style_table):
* src/macfont.m (macfont_shape):
* src/process.c (conv_sockaddr_to_lisp, network_interface_info):
Prefer make_uninit_vector if the vector will be initialized soon.
