Memory footprint improvements around the FOF code

This was needed to get the big flamingo job going. Changes inspired by !1393 (merged).

Main ideas:

  • Free all the foreign buffers when entering FOF
  • In FOF only allocate the gpart foreign buffers as we do not need the rest
  • Allocate the buffers as late as possible so that the memory can be used for the other FOF-search arrays before that.
  • Restore all the buffers as they were when done.
