Give the largest measured per-image memory in "Running under upaas"

The per-image figure is now the largest peak measured over one
8192x8192 source of each source format, with 16-bit PNG, 12-bit AVIF,
and 16-bit and 32-bit floating-point JPEG XL sources too, each saved at
full size to every output format with pixad's libvips settings: 4.2 GiB,
for the 16-bit JPEG XL saved as WebP. Temporary files says that for a
GIF, WebP, AVIF or JPEG XL source the decoded pixels are held in memory
as well as written to /tmp.
