VPP: T1797: Optimized memory allocation during startup
- changed memory requirement from total to available. This allows to start on systems with less total memory and protects from startup on systems with overloaded memory. - prevent startup if sysctl settings were not applied. This protects from situations when the system cannot allocate enough hugepages or apply other sysctl settings.
