Allow setting cache size based on memory percentage (#184) 

The problem:

1. For the most people imlib2's default 4MiB is unreasonably low;

2. Hardcoding cache size to ~256MiB has performance benefits and doesn't
   increase RAM usage too much on relatively modern systems;

3. But we can't do that, because that would be detrimental to low spec systems
   that (apparently) not (?) building nsxiv from source, as been discussed
   #171

Solution:

Calculate cache size based on total memory.

Default is set as 3%, which means:
* ~245MiB for 8GiB
* ~30MiB for 1GiB
* and so on

CACHE_SIZE_LIMIT (256MiB by default) sets the highest possible value. And in
case we cannot determine the total memory (e.g since _SC_PHYS_PAGES isn't
POSIX) use CACHE_SIZE_FALLBACK (32MiB by default) instead.
