[PATCH 04/12] string: Use conservative allocation growth strategy

[Denis Kenzior <denkenz@gmail.com>]

Instead of always growing exponentially, only request enough pages to
hold the new string.  It is unlikely that ell based applications will be
processing large strings, so be more conservative with memory use.
