Add getAvailablePhysicalMemory() (Memory that is available for use)

[dev-kasibhatla]

Addresses #4, #8
This is only for Android and Linux. On other platforms, getFreePhysicalMemory() is returned

Details

• This method returns the amount of usable physical memory (RAM) in bytes, which can be reclaimed for use by the system.
• This change addresses a semantic issue with the existing getFreePhysicalMemory() method, which reports unused memory - memory that isn't occupied but might not be available for allocation.
• On Android and Linux, getAvailablePhysicalMemory() now accurately reflects the "available memory" typically shown in device settings and diagnostic apps, aligning with how most tools report memory that can be utilized.

Additional changes:
I have also added a standard .gitignore

Notes for maintainer

• With the new additions in .gitignore, pub.dev will ask warn you about .vscode/ and version/ directories being checked into git. There's 3 solutions
  1. Remove those from git (ideal)
  2. Add entries to .pubignore
  3. Remove entries from .gitignore
• On my fork, I have also written a more comprehensive readme, updated examples, compatibility info. I did not include it because it's not relevant to this issue

If you want to merged the additional files so we go back to one package.
Happy to add you to a contributor to this repo.

I'm keen to limit the proliferation of essentially identical packages on pub.dev.

If you are going to update to pub dev soon, I will hold off on updating from the other location, just so I don't get my wires crossed later on. Great addition, thanks both of you!
