findRunningScriptByPid needlessly took a "server" argument. This caused
there to be a "getRunningScriptByPid" version that did *not*, and it was
looping through all servers in order to function, which is needlessly
inefficient.
By removing the parameter and the needless inefficient helper method,
the following changes:
- Many Netscript functions such as isRunning() and getScript() become faster.
- The terminal "tail" command now works by pid regardless of the current
server. Note that "kill" already worked this way.
I also improved the docs around "tail", since the pid argument wasn't
in the help.
This adds a way to dynamically change the static RAM limit of a script,
which is also its current RAM usage. This makes it possible for scripts
to dynamically change their memory footprint, opening up new strategies
beyond current ram-dodging.
Calling functions still permanently increases the *dynamic* memory
limit; RAM-dodging is still the optimal strategy for avoiding RAM costs,
in that sense.
This also adds dynamicRamUsage to the info returned by
`getRunningScript`, to allow introspection on the currently needed ram.
This eliminates a hole where spawn was unrelaible, because other scripts
could jump in and steal the RAM. It's not an API break, because 0 used
to be an invalid value.
*All* RAM calculations must take place in units of hundredths-of-a-GB in
order for there not to be issues.
Also adds slightly more verbose logging when the dynamic RAM check
fails.
