Display amount of memory on the Pi #247

Raspberry Pi 4 and Raspberry Pi 5 come in board-variants with differing amounts of RAM, so it seems like it might be nice to display that info next to where the Pi model and revision are displayed.

And if vcgencmd (raspi-utils) is not installed?

I could certainly add more defensive code to not add this memory info if vcgencmd isn't installed, if that's what you're suggesting? (Is that a likely situation?) But I noticed that vcgencmd was also unconditionally used here https://github.com/RPi-Distro/raspi-config/blob/bookworm/raspi-config#L1802

I've added it to runtime dependencies for the package. Thanks!
