Neha Ojha 27027a17d3 osd: add osd memory target option
BlueStore's cache is sized conservatively by default, so that it does
not overwhelm under-provisioned servers. The default is 1G for HDD, and
3G for SSD.

To replace the page cache, as much memory as possible should be given to
BlueStore. This is required for good performance. Since ceph-ansible
knows how much memory a host has, it can set

`bluestore cache size = max(total host memory / num OSDs on this host * safety
factor, 1G)`

Due to fragmentation and other memory use not included in bluestore's
cache, a safety factor of 0.5 for dedicated nodes and 0.2 for
hyperconverged nodes is recommended.
