unused: Reduce memory usage significantly.
Much of the memory bloat turned out to be due to getKeysReferenced containing a mapM, which is strict and buffered the whole list rather than streaming it. The other half of the bloat was due to building a temporary Set in order to call S.difference. While that is more cpu efficient, I switched to successive S.delete, since with it, I can run a whole git annex unused in less than 8 mb of memory. The whole Set of keys with content available is still stored in memory, so running unused in a repo with a whole lot of file content will still use more memory. In a repo containing 6000 files, it needed 40 mb. Note that the status command still uses the bloatful getKeysReferenced.

`git-annex unused` has to compare large sets of data

For example, construct a bloom filter of all keys used by files in
