util: make chunkbuffer non-quadratic on Windows

The old str-based += collector performed very nicely on Linux, but
turns out to be quadratically expensive on Windows, causing
chunkbuffer to dominate in profiles.

This list-based version has been measured to significantly improve
performance with large chunks on Windows, with negligible overall
overhead on Linux (though microbenchmarks show it to be about 50% slower).

This may increase memory overhead where += didn't behave quadratically. If we
want to gather up 1G of data to join, we temporarily have 1G in our
list and 1G in our string.
