Pass element counts, not byte sizes, to the chop routines

chopByWhite, chopString and chopByChar take their last argument as a
count of elements in the output array.  Fifteen call sites passed
sizeof(array) instead.  For an array of pointers that is eight times
the real capacity on a 64-bit build, so the chop could write well past
the end of the array.

Switched each to ArraySize().  Behaviour is unchanged for any input
that already fitted in the array.

Built clean: lib, hg/lib, hg/hgTracks, hg/hgc, hg/utils/hubCheck,
utils/bedScore, parasol/lib, parasol/parasol.  Three directories do not
build, but they fail the same way without this change: checkExp is
missing htslib link flags, and cgapSageFind and affySplice have stale
prototypes in files this does not touch.
