Reduce memory usage (#235)

In 2004, an allocation optimization has been added to the file
list handling code, that preallocates 32k of file_struct pointers
in a file_list. This optimization predates the incremental
recursion feature, for which it is not appropriate anymore. When
copying a tree containing a large number of small directories,
using the incremental recursion, rsync allocates many short
file_lists. Suddenly, the unused file_struct pointers can easily
take 90-95% of the memory allocated by rsync.
