In an example where '*' expanded to 17k elts, fasd used 10s before
giving the next bash prompt. This change cuts the list down to the
last _FASD_ADD_MAX arguments (defaults to 2000).

FWIW I found it surprising that this removed the first N excess arguments rather than the last N arguments. That said, I don't know a better way to do this in POSIX shell that isn't some big nasty loop. (I hit the same problem this PR tries to address. I'm now trying to migrate away from fasd to something else.)
