Delay releasing a maximum number of bytes in the plasma client. (#160)

* Send message from plasma client to get plasma store capacity.

* Release objects from plasma client if they are too large.

* Use doubly-linked list instead of ring buffer for plasma client release history.

* Address comments.

* Fix problem with slicing PlasmaBuffer objects.

* Fix crash in plasma manager during transfer.

* Formatting.

* Make plasma client cache larger and make caching test not throw exceptions on Travis.
