## Summary
- Adds `readCgroupMemoryMB()` to detect container memory ceiling from
cgroup v2 (`/sys/fs/cgroup/memory.max`) and v1
(`/sys/fs/cgroup/memory.limit_in_bytes`)
- Adds `warnIfMemlimitUnderprovisioned()` called once from `main()`
after the existing memlimit block — logs a `[memlimit] WARN` at startup
if the effective GOMEMLIMIT is below 50% of the container limit
- Works whether the limit was set via `GOMEMLIMIT` env var or derived
from `packetStore.maxMemoryMB`
- Adds `readCgroupMemoryMBFn` package-level hook for test injection
(same pattern as `readProcSelfIOFn` in the ingestor)
Fixes#1264. In the reported incident, GOMEMLIMIT was 1536 MiB on a 7.7
GB container; GC consumed 82% of CPU and all endpoints were 3–100×
slower. This warning fires at startup so operators catch the
misconfiguration before it causes an incident.
## Test plan
- [ ] `TestWarnIfMemlimitUnderprovisioned_EmitsWarning` — warning fires
when effective < 50% of cgroup
- [ ] `TestWarnIfMemlimitUnderprovisioned_NoWarnWhenAdequate` — no
warning at boundary (effective = 1024 MiB, cgroup = 1536 MiB)
- [ ] `TestWarnIfMemlimitUnderprovisioned_NoCgroupNoLog` — silent on
non-container hosts
- [ ] `TestWarnIfMemlimitUnderprovisioned_NoneSource` — no warning when
`source="none"` (no limit configured, runtime returns math.MaxInt64)
- [ ] `TestMemlimitUnderprovisioned` — boundary table for the comparison
helper
- [ ] All existing `TestApplyMemoryLimit_*` still pass
