Fix Linux available memory reporting to use MemAvailable instead of get_avphys_pages()
On Linux, get_avphys_pages() maps to sysconf(_SC_AVPHYS_PAGES) which returns only completely unallocated pages (MemFree). The Linux kernel eagerly uses spare physical RAM for disk caching (buff/cache). When active disk caching fills memory, MemFree routinely hovers between 200-500 MB even when gigabytes of memory are available. This caused the viewer's memory budget logic to falsely report low system memory (<256 MB), repeatedly triggering emergency texture downrezzing loops and dynamic draw-distance halving. Replace get_avphys_pages() in LLMemoryInfo::updateAvailableMemory() with a fast, non-allocating single fread of MemAvailable: from /proc/meminfo (available on Linux >= 3.14), with fallback to get_avphys_pages().
