Title: 12311 auto memory (rebased onto develop)

This is the same as gh-2595 but rebased onto develop.

----

See: http://trac.openmicroscopy.org.uk/ome/ticket/12311

This PR removes the need to use perl or sed to modify the configuration properties on deploy. In fact, all references to `-Xmx` and `MaxPermGen` have been removed from `templates.xml`. Instead, the `omero.install.memory` module now calculates the appropriate settings **on every startup** and sets them in `config.xml`.

Things to check:
* `bin/omero admin memory` command should modify `config.xml` and print out what it's doing
* `bin/omero config set` can be used to modify those values
* `bin/omero admin start` should make use of those properties.

Items that could use work/discussion:
* ~~tests for `PercentStrategy`~~ (done)
* ~~addition of min/~~max~~ values (max done)~~
* ~~optimization of default percents~~
* ~~other strategies?~~ (adaptive added; suggestions welcome)
