Use ALLOC_GROW() macro when reallocing a string_list array
rather than simply increasing it by 32. This is a performance
optimization.
During status on a very large repo and there are many changes,
a significant percentage of the total run time is spent
reallocing the wt_status.changes array.
This change decreases the time in wt_status_collect_changes_worktree()
from 125 seconds to 45 seconds on my very large repository.
This produced a modest gain on my 1M file artificial repo, but
broke even on linux.git.
