mds: support limiting cache by memory
This introduces two config parameters:

    mds_cache_memory_limit: Sets the soft maximum of the cache to the given
    byte count. (Like mds_cache_size, this doesn't actually limit the maximum
    size of the cache. It just dictates the steady-state size.)

    mds_cache_reservation: This replaces mds_health_cache_threshold everywhere
    except the Beacon heartbeat sent to the mons. The idea here is to specify a
    reservation of memory (5% by default) for operations and the MDS tries to
    always maintain that reservation. So, the MDS will recall caps from clients
    when it begins dipping into its reservation of memory.

mds_cache_size still limits the cache by Inode count but is now by-default 0
(i.e. unlimited). The new preferred way of specifying cache limits is by memory
size. The default is 1GB.

---------
- *CephFS*:
* Limiting MDS cache via a memory limit is now supported using the new
mds_cache_memory_limit config option (1GB by default). A cache reservation
can also be specified using mds_cache_reservation as a percentage of the
limit (5% by default). Limits by inode count are still supported using
mds_cache_size. Setting mds_cache_size to 0 (the default) disables the
inode limit.
