Using putUint16() et al. is not very efficient when adding new values
0%
Description
As far as I can see, the putUint16() and related methods are not very efficient when adding new values. This should be changed since these putXXX() methods are e.g. using within the "dcmsr" module quite intensively.

One simple approach could be a new method that would allow for reserving a memory buffer for the value field if its size is known in advance (which is quite ofen the case, e.g. when filling in values in a for/while-loop).
In fact, there is already a method that could be used for this purpose: DcmElement::createEmptyValue(const Uint32 length). However, this method is currently "protected", i.e. it can only be used by derived classes.
