RFA: lazily allocate bcache obstack

[Tom Tromey <tromey at redhat dot com>]

Today I was looking at 'maint print statistics' for a large program
(openoffice, with 162 shared libraries).

In the output I noticed that in many cases there was an empty bcache
of some kind, each taking around 4k.

This patch changes bcache to lazily initialize its obstack.  According
to 'maint space 1', this saved 2355200 bytes on the openoffice test
case.

Built and regtested on x86-64 (compile farm).
Ok?

	(bcache_xmalloc): Don't initialize obstack.
	(bcache_xfree): Conditionally free obstack.
