Conditionally force memory storage according to privacy.thirdparty.isolate;
This solves Tor bug #9701, complying with disk avoidance documented in
https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/design/#disk-avoidance.

     1 Snappy v1.0.4, September 15th 2011:
     3   * Speeded up the decompressor somewhat; typically about 2–8%
     4     for Core i7, in 64-bit mode (comparable for Opteron).
     5     Somewhat more for some tests, almost no gain for others.
     7   * Make Snappy compile on certain platforms it didn't before
     8     (Solaris with SunPro C++, HP-UX, AIX).
    10   * Correct some minor errors in the format description.
    13 Snappy v1.0.3, June 2nd 2011:
    15   * Speeded up the decompressor somewhat; about 3-6% for Core 2,
    16     6-13% for Core i7, and 5-12% for Opteron (all in 64-bit mode).
    18   * Added compressed format documentation. This text is new,
    19     but an earlier version from Zeev Tarantov was used as reference.
    21   * Only link snappy_unittest against -lz and other autodetected
    22     libraries, not libsnappy.so (which doesn't need any such dependency).
    24   * Fixed some display issues in the microbenchmarks, one of which would
    25     frequently make the test crash on GNU/Hurd.
    28 Snappy v1.0.2, April 29th 2011:
    30   * Relicense to a BSD-type license.
    32   * Added C bindings, contributed by Martin Gieseking.
    34   * More Win32 fixes, in particular for MSVC.
    36   * Replace geo.protodata with a newer version.
    38   * Fix timing inaccuracies in the unit test when comparing Snappy
    39     to other algorithms.
    42 Snappy v1.0.1, March 25th 2011:
    44 This is a maintenance release, mostly containing minor fixes.
    45 There is no new functionality. The most important fixes include:
    47   * The COPYING file and all licensing headers now correctly state that
    48     Snappy is licensed under the Apache 2.0 license.
    50   * snappy_unittest should now compile natively under Windows,
    51     as well as on embedded systems with no mmap().
    53   * Various autotools nits have been fixed.
    56 Snappy v1.0, March 17th 2011:
    58   * Initial version.
