/* this sets a section of the data queue aside (possibly allocating memory for it)
   as if it's been written to, but returns a pointer to that space. You may write
   to this space until a read would consume it. Writes (and other calls to this
   function) will safely append their data after this reserved space and can
   be in flight at the same time. There is no thread safety.
   If there isn't an existing block of memory that can contain the reserved
   space, one will be allocated for it. You can not (currently) allocate
   a space larger than the packetlen requested in SDL_NewDataQueue.
   Returned buffer is uninitialized.
   This lets you avoid an extra copy in some cases, but it's safer to use
   SDL_WriteToDataQueue() unless you know what you're doing.
   Returns pointer to buffer of at least (len) bytes, NULL on error.
