[bisq-network/bisq] Limit system ram to 4GB (#4048)

[Florian Reimair]

I have seen that too but only once for my always-on bisq. Seems like a legitimate Out-of-Heap error since Bisq is resource hungry beyond compare. Restart Bisq and everything is fine again.

There are multiple efforts and fixes in the pipeline, though, as @ghubstan already said, java10 is very old and outdated, yet, we refuse to upgrade, and that would fix a whole lot of issues (https://github.com/bisq-network/bisq/pull/4242). Plus, there are projects in line to help reduce RAM requirements (https://github.com/bisq-network/projects/issues/29, https://github.com/bisq-network/projects/issues/25) which are either waiting to be reviewed and merged or waiting to start (with a clear :+1: from the community but no budget for over a month now).

@cd2357 we played around with the -XX:+UseG1GC flag way back and it did not change anything. Only when I hunted down and found the faulty line of code that produced the resource leak, thing changed. Bisq still holds the whole data stores in RAM (not at first, but just click the "trades" tab and there you go) and it will do so until we change things.

As long as we do not fix the underlying issues, we will only treat single failures and waste time and resources over and over again.
