Try using GStringChunks in PacketListRecord.

This saves a fair amount of memory in tests here. Loading a large
capture file and sorting on a custom column (tcp.window_size) uses 676
MB before the change and 634 after.

Add notes about possble further improvements:

Roll our own replacement for GStringChunks using wmem_tree.

Have PacketListRecord::columnString return a const char * instead of a
const QByteArray.
