[oe] [RFC] Annotate machines with amount of RAM

[Paul Sokolovsky]

Hello openembedded-devel,

  Another small RFC from me. We already have ROOT_FLASH_SIZE variable
for machines, which specifies builtin flash size. Distros may use it to
decide what to put into rootfs, check its size, etc.

  I'd like to propose to add setting like RAM_SIZE which would list
available RAM. Generally, that would be in line with more comprehensive
declaritive machine descriptions we move towards with introduction of
MACHINE_FEATURES. Clever distro could use RAM_SIZE to select
alternative packages/settings. For example, if we ever come to
Firefox/Minimo being default browser for distros, RAM_SIZE="32"
machines may still prefer something smaller.
