CrOS - Add memory consumption status bar widget behind flag
Pass --memory-widget on CrOS to get a real-time display, updated every 5 seconds, of the system's free memory. Tooltip and menu itself detail the data from /proc/meminfo. Also made base::GetSystemMemoryInfo() available on Linux systems to provide detailed data.
