Subject: [PATCH 1/4] support sub arrays of dynamic size as field type

* allow dynamic field types in the record dimension
* add specializations to most of the core functions
* add llama::dynamic to signal a dynamic array member in a RecordCoord
* extend VirtualRecord to allow holding dynamic indices
* extend blobNrAndOffset to allow for additional dynamic indices
* add OffsetTable mapping
* add customization allowing to dump OffsetTable mappings
* add a few unit tests
