CLOUDSTACK-7951: Limit amount of memory used by cloudstack-agent jsvc
The -Xms value specifies the minimum heap size the JVM should start with and
-Xmx is the maximum heap size it can grow. The previous fix imposed minimum
limit of 1G which is unreasonably for small deployments. The fix is to start
with 256MB and limit to 2G for cloudstack-agent process. This was tested on
DevCloud/KVM and then again on a ACS/KVM deployment on real hardware.
With these values, it's possible for the agent to work in a DevCloud/KVM
environment and if JVM needs it can increase the heap size to 2G. The fix also
ports these settings to Debian cloud-agent init.d script as well.

> cloudstack-agent jsvc gets too large virtual memory space on huge
> memory equipped machine.
> We have 155 physical machines that each is equipped 128GB RAM and
> is installed CentOS6.6 (64bit). On these physical machines, I use
> KVM as hypervisor.
> I create Compute Offering with 120GB RAM and I deploy VM with this
> Compute Offering on this environment.
> Now, I have a problem that qemu-kvm process often fails deploying VM
> in the above conditions. I confirm that the following message is
> outputted in /var/log/libvirt/qemu/i-X-X-VM.log.
