ifile spam sorting gets progressively slower

gnus-ifile.el has two modes it operates in.  If you put it in
spam-sort-only mode, it only uses two ifile categories, spam and
non-spam.  spam.el's ifile mode puts spam in the ifile spam category,
and ham in an ifile category corresponding to the group the message
appeared in.  This makes ifile get progressively slower; as it reads
more messages, it has to parse the .idata file to build up a table of
tens of thousands of words by hundreds of groups.  This patch adds
back in an option to go back to the original methodology; I can put
(setq spam-ifile-ham-category "non-spam") in my .gnus file to force a
single category for ham messages.  The default is to keep the same
behavior as spam.el currently has.
