memory: increase the RAM limits, check for URL installs (#549653).

Due to higher memory consumption of LVM, kernel, anaconda and other
running processes in general our current memory limits are insufficient
and the increase is neccessary. I am also introducing additional check for
URL installs which require another 108 MB from the ramdisk, no need to
penalize other install methods.

This is the current memory budget:
- unpacked initrd takes 63 MB
- running processes (anaconda, loader, udev, nm): 67 MB (estimate)
- peak LVM memory consumption: up to additional 56 MB
- with URL install install.img takes additional: 108 MB
- memory requriements of X additional: 256 MB (estimate)

Currently we always expect there will be calls to lvm (though we could do
another memory check just at the moment where the necessity arises). All
of the estimates are on the upper bound, still I am running into OOM
easily with text install+http stage2+lvm detection with the old limits.
