[Done] API: GetStateChunkSize(object)

[Meo-Ada Mespotine]

I suggest a function, which returns the size a Statechunk would have, if I would get it, as NeedBig in C++ needs this information.
Otherwise, large StateChunks could be truncated, what happened to nofish in this thread:
https://forum.cockos.com/showthread.php?t=221575

Alternatively, the GetXXXStateChunk functions return false, if the NeedBig wasn't big enough.

Is there really no way currently to use GetEnvelopeStateChunk() safely in C++?
I'd like to make use of it in SWS but I'm unsure how big the buffer I pass should be to ensure it's always big enough (and the chunk isn't truncated).

We should expose the API so that you can register a buffer which gets reallocated up on demand...

Thanks Justin.
Though I'm not sure, is this to be interpreted as

a) coming in near future

b) maybe one day

c) we should, but meh

Seems like a really important feature to have in the API!

Not exactly as requested but it's solved meanwhile with a new API addition added in Reaper v6.68:

+ API: expose realloc_cmd_register_buf/realloc_cmd_clear to C/C++ API

Usage info here.

@Meo-Ada Mespotine
Perhaps you could mark the thread with [DONE] or similar?
