Default memory selection should have a maximum value

      Description

      Jalview's new dynamic memory allocation defaults to 90% of physical memory, trying to obtain at least 0.5GB for Jalview, but also leaveing at least 0.5GB for the OS.

      In some environments (e.g. HPC) 90% of physical memory is inappropriately large.
      We should set a (default) limit of e.g. 32GB (maybe lower?).

      This could be done in jalview.bin.MemorySetting.java, but should be copied over to the getdown src and jar too.
