Harshavardhana 8d090a20ce server: set globalCacheSize honoring system limits for max memory. (#2332)
On unix systems it is possible to set max memory used by
running processes using 'ulimit -m' or 'syscall.RLIMIT_AS'.

A process whence exceeds this limit, kernel would pro-actively
kill such a server with OOM. To avoid this problem of defaulting
our cache size to 8GB we should look for if the current system
limits are lower and set the cache size appropriately.
