[PATCH v4 kvmtool 03/12] builtin-run: Rework RAM size validation

[Alexandru Elisei]

host_ram_size() uses sysconf() to calculate the available ram, and
sysconf() can fail. When that happens, host_ram_size() returns 0. kvmtool
warns the user when the configured VM ram size exceeds the size of the
host's memory, but doesn't take into account that host_ram_size() can
return 0. If the function returns zero, skip the warning.

Since this can only happen when the user sets the memory size (via the
-m/--mem command line argument), skip the check entirely if the user hasn't
set it. Move the check to kvm_run_validate_cfg(), as it checks for valid
user configuration.
