bug#43389: 28.0.50; Emacs memory leaks

[Joshua Branson]

Over in #guix irc, the guix people seemed to think it was a memory leak with 
helm.

I was watching my emacs consume about 0.1% more system memory every 2 or 3 
seconds. Setting

(setq helm-ff-keep-cached-candidates nil)

Seemed to make the problem go away.

I also made a video, where I watched this memory usage continually go up
and then stay steady after I turned off helm-ff-keep-cached-candidates.
This happens at about the 35 minute mark.
