Fix using sizeof for array given as function argument

Hi,

when using the sizeof() operator for an array given as function argument
it returns the size of the pointer instead of the size of the array.
In this case, the affected function hex(char digest[16], char buff[33])
will just print 4 or 8 byte instead of the full length of 16 bytes, on
32bit and 64bit systems respectively.

  git fetch git@REDACTED:cristiangreco/otp.git cg/fix-sizeof-array-arg

The problem can be easily tested with the following pieces of code (this
is a 64bit system):

>>> cristian@REDACTED:~$ cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include "erl_interface.h"
#include "ei.h"

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
  erl_init(NULL, 0);
  if (erl_connect_init(1, "secretcookie", 0) == -1)
    erl_err_quit("error erl_connect_init");
  if (erl_connect("test@REDACTED") < 0)
    erl_err_quit("error erl_connect");
  fprintf(stderr, "Connected to test@REDACTED\n");
}
>>> cristian@REDACTED:~$ gcc test.c -o test -lerl_interface -lei -lpthread
>>> cristian@REDACTED:~$ erl -sname test -setcookie secretcookie -detached
>>> cristian@REDACTED:~$ EI_TRACELEVEL=3 ./test
ei_xconnect: Sat Feb 26 00:16:57 2011: -> CONNECT attempt to connect to test

send_challenge_reply: Sat Feb 26 00:16:57 2011: -> SEND_CHALLENGE_REPLY (ok) challenge = -1021121626, digest = 1a80a4b784b18a0e
recv_challenge_ack: Sat Feb 26 00:16:57 2011: <- RECV_CHALLENGE_ACK (ok) digest = 165837d811901950

Connected to test@REDACTED

Please compare the output provided by the JInterface (which has pretty
similar code, but not the same bug).

>>> cristian@REDACTED:~$ cat test.java 
import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.UnknownHostException;
import com.ericsson.otp.erlang.*;

public class test {
  public static void main(String[] argv) throws UnknownHostException,
      IOException, OtpAuthException {
    OtpSelf self = new OtpSelf("client", "secretcookie");
    OtpPeer other = new OtpPeer("test@REDACTED");
    OtpConnection connection = self.connect(other);
  }
}
>>> cristian@REDACTED:~$ javac -classpath ".:/usr/lib/erlang/lib/jinterface-1.5.3/priv/OtpErlang.jar" test.java
>>> cristian@REDACTED:~$ java -classpath ".:/usr/lib/erlang/lib/jinterface-1.5.3/priv/OtpErlang.jar" -DOtpConnection.trace=3 test
