Accommodate very large dshash tables.

If a dshash table grows very large (e.g., the dshash table for
cumulative statistics when there are millions of tables), resizing
it may fail with an error like:

        ERROR: invalid DSA memory alloc request size 1073741824

To fix, permit dshash resizing to allocate more than 1 GB by
providing the DSA_ALLOC_HUGE flag.
