[sv-cc] openArray::size() method

Arnab, is there any reason why we can't store the size along with openArray object, either by adding an argument to its constructor, or by adding a set_size() method? That would do a better job of keeping the implementation and interface independent of the creating language.

Arnab,

-- The proposed openArray::size() method is implemented as a call to svSize(arrayhndl, dimension), so that size is determined soley by SystemVerilog.

ARNAB: Size can be implemented based on the source language.
