Modifies the name table array structure that contains the name sequence instances for a given name type so that the publication lists associated with a given instance are stored in a dynamically allocated structure, rather than being embedded within the array entry itself. This change is being done for several reasons: 1) It reduces the amount of data that needs to be copied whenever a given array is expanded or contracted to accommodate the first publication of a new name sequence or the removal of the last publication of an existing name sequence. 2) It reduces the amount of memory associated with array entries that are currently unused. 3) It facilitates the upcoming conversion of the publication lists from TIPC-specific circular lists to standard kernel lists. (Standard lists cannot be used with the former array structure because the relocation of array entries during array expansion and contraction would corrupt the lists.) Note that, aside from introducing a small amount of code to dynamically allocate and free the structure that now holds publication list info, this change is largely a simple renaming exercise that replaces references to "sseq->LIST" with "sseq->info->LIST" (or "info->LIST").
