Added a annex.queuesize setting
useful when adding hundreds of thousands of files on a system with plenty
of memory.
git add gets quite slow in such a large repository, so if the system has
more than the ~32 mb of memory the queue can use by default, it's a useful
optimisation to increase the queue size, in order to decrease the number
of times git add is run.
