Change maximum arraySize value to "unbounded"

Part 2, section 3.1.6 arraySize Attribute Information Item[1] reads:

|   The array's dimensions are represented by each item in the list of
|   sizes (unspecified size in case of the asterisk).

This reminds me of the XML Schema maxOccurs attribute which specifies
how many maximum times an element occurs[3].

maxOccurs unbounded value used to be "*" and was changed into
"unbounded" by the XML Schema Working Group (see issue 221[2]).

For alignment purposes, I think that SOAP should also use "unbounded".
Should the XML Schema Working Group define an array type, they would
most certainly go with "unbounded".
