Changing `memory` option to limit resident memory instead of virtual memory, in config file and fdbserver/fdbbackup/fdbcli command-line argument. Since `rlimit` doesn't support limiting virtual memory, the current implementation have both of fdbmonitor and the fdbserver/fdbbackup process checking process RSS periodically and kill and restart the process if the limit is exceeded.
Adding a new `memory_vsize` option to limit virtual memory, if backward-compatible behavior is desired.

* Don't suggest Windows is more production tested than macOS
* Update multi-region deficencies, as spill-by-reference is the
default in 6.2+
* Suggest that `double` replication can be reasonable for production
deployments if the underlying disks are already replicated as well.
This patch includes descriptions of the transaction log configurations
for these redundancy modes, and corrects what I believe is an incorrect
statement about the minimum number of machines required to make
progress. It also clarifies that commits require synchronous
replication across datacenters.
The only published datacenter-aware mode is three_datacenter, which
replicates data 6x (not in triplicate) and does replicate each piece of
data to all three datacenters.
According to fdbclient/ManagementAPI.actor.cpp, the three_datacenter mode has a redundancy/replication factor of 6, and distributes the replicas across 3 datacenters and 2 zones within each datacenter.
