83a93881a2 Design.mps.ring.naming: "when one structure parent contains one ring of child structures, the field in parent is usually known as childring, and the field in child is known as parentring". so the field in chunkstruct should be named arenaring.

c968255f1e Ensure that code of the form if (condition) statement; is split over two lines, so that it is possible to set a breakpoint on the statement in a debugger.
This change was agreed in 1997 (see <https://info.ravenbrook.com/project/mps/mail/1997/08/19/13-44/0.txt>), so it's about time it was implemented.

6abe840d06 set control_extend_by to 32768.
The CONTROL_EXTEND_BY value for the extend by on the control pool was set really small (4096) on the assumption that the control pool was not heavily used. However, since we allocate Seg's in the control pool and recycle them frequently, this assumption is no longer true.
