set dovecot vsz_limit to 1/3 of available memory (#1096) 

The `default_vsz_limit` is the maximum amount of virtual memory that can be allocated. It should be set *reasonably high* to avoid allocation issues with larger mailboxes. We're setting it to 1/3 of the total available memory (physical mem + swap) to be sure.
