Kartik K. Agaram 69c5d844cc remove some memory leaks from rendered fragments
All signs so far seem to be that CPU is cheap for this application, but
memory is expensive. It's easy to get sluggish if the GC comes on.

After some experiments using https://github.com/yaukeywang/LuaMemorySnapshotDump,
one source of memory leaks is rendered fragments (https://love2d.org/wiki/Text
objects). I need to render text in approximately word-sized fragments to
mostly break lines more intelligently at word boundaries.

I've attached the files I used for my experiments (suffixed with a '.')

There's definitely still a leak in fragments. The longer I edit, the
more memory goes to them.
