     The rrrreeeessssiiiizzzzeeee function is used to modify the number of rows in
     an RRRRRRRRAAAA.

     _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e
             the name of the RRRRRRRRDDDD you want to alter.

     _r_r_a_-_n_u_m the RRRRRRRRAAAA you want to alter. You can find the number
             using rrrrrrrrddddttttoooooooollll iiiinnnnffffoooo.

             extra rows will be inserted as the rows that are
             oldest.

     SSSSHHHHRRRRIIIINNNNKKKK  used if you want to remove rows from an RRA. The
             rows that will be removed are the oldest rows.

     _r_o_w_s    the number of rows you want to add or remove.

     It is possible to abuse this tool and get strange results by
     first removing some rows and then reinsert the same amount
     (effectively clearing them to be Unknown). You may thus end
     up with unknown data in one RRA while at the same timestamp
     this data is available in another RRA.
