It turns out we never use a value for m_buf_size that isn't the default,
and we also never ask for more than a few thousand items; however,
we do spend a ton of time memsetting the huge buffer to zero.
I don't know what the ideal size is, but 16K is a far better guess
than 1MB. Let's reduce it for some immediate CPU benefit, and determine
what the size should be later.

I got a little too enthusiastic when redacting the code, and removed some
overloaded functions bees was using. C++ silently found replacements,
and the result was a bug that prevented any data from being persisted
from the hash table.

I accidentally did a pre-push verification on a 32-bit build host.
There were a surprisingly small number of problems, so fix them.
Bees now builds on a 32-bit host. Let's not update README just yet,
though: the 32-bit ioctl support fails immediately after startup on a
64-bit kernel.
I'm not surprised that GCC 6 doesn't let me send an ostream ref to itself,
even inside an uninstantiated template specialization. I am a little
surprised I was trying to, and 4.9 let me get away with it.
It's 2016. auto_ptr is deprecated now.
Some things were including vector that don't any more.
