Feature Request: Add information on RAM slots

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I would love to see inxi report details on the system's RAM capacity:
- Maximum RAM capacity
- Number of RAM slots
- State of each RAM slot (filled or unfilled)
- RAM module details (capacity, type, clock speed)

All of this info should be available from dmidecode (16 and 17), if not 
elsewhere.

See issue 44. I'm closing this issue because it's already active and accepted.

Just as a note, however, to repeat, I'm not happy adding a feature that can 
only be run as root, that's not ideal for inxi. However, because there's no 
real other way to get this data in bsd, I will have to use dmidecode as a 
fallback in all cases anyway.

I've been waiting/hoping that the linux kernel guys would add all the ram data 
to /sys, I have no idea why it's not in there, all the mobo data is, and if 
it's in /sys, inxi can easily grab it, well, not easily but it can get it, as 
user.
