Why name this `vlc_realloc` when it is really an implementation of
`reallocarray`? To me it makes little to no sense.

If you want an implementation that behaves and accepts the same
arguments as `reallocarray`, I'd argue that you definitely should not
name it after something both *standard*, and with a different
signature.
