* Change internal implementation of QPDF arrays to use sparse
arrays, which results in using much less memory for arrays with
large numbers of nulls. Various files have been encountered in the
wild that contains thousands of arrays with millions of nulls.
Fixes #305, #311.

arrays with lots of nulls. This enables qpdf to use
drastically less memory for certain types of files.
