Rename StgArrWords to StgArrBytes
Since #3800 (closed), StgArrWords
contains a certain number of words and not bytes. One can easily forget this and make programming mistakes. For example if you try to store the number of words in the bytes
field, the garbage collector won't honor your decision. (I learned the hard way :))
