decr doesn't shrink the value size about memcached

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Since this is a counter it will most likely grow (or shrink) in size a lot of 
times,
and as an internal optimization we don't want to reallocate the item storage 
each
time we need another decimal.

In the future I would love to see us storing an uint64_t there so we don't need 
all
the conversion to/from textual format (and just convert it to textual format if 
you
use the textual protocol...)

Ugh, I *did* have an int representation for the binary protocol version at one 
point.
 It just didn't have a way to know.  I suppose we could add some data there.
