Motivation/summary
By default memlimit uses all the memory available on the host but if cgroups are used and the process is being limited we want to use the correct max memory.
Use automemlimit lib to set memory limit
Run check every 30s
Similar approach as automaxprocs
Test has to be performed manually (see below) because we can't really restrict the process memory :(
