[PATCH v3 1/2] string-list: use ALLOC_GROW macro when reallocing string_list

From: Jeff Hostetler <jeffhost@microsoft.com>

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.
