Previously, we restricted applying the flags -maxidleram and -maxheap to only VMs. This change applies those flags to all machine types, both VMs and physical. The expected outcome is that this shouldn't modify behavior of packet-headers on physical machines most all of the time, but may prevent packet-headers from eating up too much memory and invoking the oom-killer due to SYN floods or heavy traffic spikes. In either case packet-headers data is corrupted or non-existent, but with the flags it may not take the machine down or make it unresponsive.
