Anand reports that the static buffers used for pertty size strings cause
a stack overflow on SPARC. Zach proposed to change the printf format to
wrap the number and the suffix into a macro. This would require to
change all callsites of pretty_size* and is not very convienient to
write.

This patch replaces the per-call-site static buffers with a limited
number for slots that would be used on each invokation of pretty_size
and wrap around. The number of array slots shall be 10 for now, in
current codebase there are no more than 2 calls to pretty_size in a
single argument list.

Anand, please test on a real SPARC machine.
