**Action: Many years ago, VB didn't have the concept of a byte array, so enterprising
**        users created one by allocating a BSTR with an odd length and using it to
**        store bytes.  A generation later, we're still stuck supporting this behavior.
**        The way that we do this is to take advantage of the difference between the
**        array length and the string length.  The string length will always be the
**        number of characters between the start of the string and the terminating 0.
**        If we need an odd number of bytes, we'll take one wchar after the terminating 0.
**        (e.g. at position StringLength+1).  The high-order byte of this wchar is
**        reserved for flags and the low-order byte is our odd byte. This function is
**        used to allocate a string of that shape, but we don't actually mark the
**        trailing byte as being in use yet.
**Returns: A newly allocated string.  Null if length is less than 0.
**Arguments: length -- the length of the string to allocate
**           bHasTrailByte -- whether the string also has a trailing byte.
**Exceptions: OutOfMemoryException if AllocateString fails.
