finish bloom filters

Add tuning, docs, etc.

Not sure if status is the right place to remote size.. perhaps unused
should report the size and also warn if it sees more keys than the bloom
filter allows?

+* `annex.bloomcapacity`
+
+  The `git annex unused` command uses a bloom filter to determine
+  what data is no longer used. The default bloom filter is sized to handle
+  up to 500000 keys. If your repository is larger than that,
+  you can adjust this to avoid `git annex unused` not noticing some unused
+  data files. Increasing this will make `git-annex unused` consume more memory;
+  run `git annex status` for memory usage numbers.

+* `annex.bloomaccuracy`

+  Adjusts the accuracy of the bloom filter used by
+  `git annex unused`. The default accuracy is 1000 -- 
+  1 unused file out of 1000 will be missed by `git annex unused`. Increasing
+  the accuracy will make `git annex unused` consume more memory;
+  run `git annex status` for memory usage numbers.
