mruby-array-ext/array.c: implement Array#rotate in C.

The Ruby version of `Array#rotate!` generated a rotated array and
replaced the receiver, but the C version rotates the receiver array
in-place. So the performance is improved a lot both in speed and memory
consumption. Look for the comments in `array.c` for the in-place rotating
algorithm, if you are interested.
