[racket] making flvector with C API?

There's a 

  Scheme_Double_Vector *scheme_alloc_flvector(intptr_t size);

function internally, and I'll add it to the DLL exports and
documentation. Use it like this:

  Scheme_Double_Vector *dv;

  dv = scheme_alloc_flvector(100);

  /* initialization: */
  for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
    SCHEME_FLVEC_ELS(dv)[i] = 0.0;
  }
