Boot with 2 GB of memory

A job with mem: 2048 could time out at "Starting VM" while the same job
passed on the next runner (#​63). The guest was not
crashing: its console showed svc.startd: Couldn't fork ... Cannot allocate memory and /tmp: File system full, swap space limit exceeded,
and sshd was killed before it ever listened. The cause was in the image,
not the runner: svc:/application/man-index rebuilt the man page index
with catman on every boot of the snapshot image, peaking at 564 MB for
about 50 seconds, on top of a kernel that already takes close to 1 GB at
2 GB. Whether sshd came up first was a race, which is why the failure
looked host-dependent.

solaris-builder v2.0.8 ships images with man-index and the other services
a CI guest never uses disabled: sstore, the Solaris Web UI (five httpd),
the hal/dbus/rmvolmgr removable-media stack, fault notification, the
extra virtual terminals, smb, InfiniBand, FCoE, iSCSI, sendmail-client and
the compliance guide generator. rad, fmd, auditd and the nfs/autofs
pieces stay.

Measured on one host with mem: 2048 and the production CPU flags,
::memstat about a minute after boot:

image boot-to-ssh Kernel User/Anon Free daemons RSS
v2.0.7 (as shipped) timeout - - - 587 MB
v2.0.7, man-index/webui off 26 s 1.45 GB 354 MB 13 MB ~480 MB
v2.0.8 33 s 1.31 GB 252 MB 203 MB 317 MB

The daemons RSS column is the summed resident size of every process
after boot; the v2.0.7 figure was taken at 4 GB since that image never
reached ssh at 2 GB. 2 GB now boots, but with about 200 MB to spare;
give a real build 4 GB or more.

Under the hood

The runtime moves to anyvm v0.6.9 (from v0.6.5). Nothing in that range
touches this guest's launch.
