nobu 9bc73cd81f array.c: improve operations on small arrays
[Feature #13884]

Reduce number of memory allocations for "and", "or" and "diff"
operations on small arrays

Very often, arrays are used to filter parameters and to select
interesting items from 2 collections and very often these
collections are small enough, for example:

```ruby
SAFE_COLUMNS = [:id, :title, :created_at]

def columns
  @all_columns & SAFE_COLUMNS
end
```

In this patch, I got rid of unnecessary memory allocations for
small arrays when "and", "or" and "diff" operations are performed.
