Investigate why the bot leaks memory #91

It appears as though ninjabot tends to leak memory over time. e.g. I just checked the resource usage on the server and it was using roughly 3 times the amount of RAM it uses when it starts up.

We should probably investigate this.

[ ] Is Python's garbage collector being crappy?
[ ] Is it a plugin?
[x] ~~Is it the storage?~~ I don't see any memleaks in the storage API.
[ ] Is it kronos?
[ ] Is it our __magic__ shiz?
[ ] Could it be the magic import hackery?

It's most likely the __magic__ fuckery we do.

Might have something to do with config/plugin reloads. In particular, the ignore and admins config stuff would leak like hell after reloading a few times, thanks to the fact that Ninjabot.admins and Ninjabot.ignored are lists... (#86)
