Ezekiel Newren d43d591252 xdiff: delete chastore from xdfile_t ...

xdfile_t currently uses chastore_t which is an arena allocator. I
think that xrecord_t used to be a linked list and recs didn't exist
originally. When recs was added I think they forgot to remove
xdfile_t.next, but was overlooked. This dual data structure setup
makes the code somewhat confusing.

Additionally the C type chastore_t isn't FFI friendly, and provides
little to no performance benefit over using realloc to grow an array.

Performance impact of deleting fields from xdfile_t:
Deleting ha is about 5% slower.
Deleting cha is about 5% faster.

Delete ha, but keep cha
