--nsize and --vsize

[Prof Brian D Ripley]

Based on the discussion so far, I have committed changes to 
`Version 0.64.0 Patched' that

  Uses R_NSIZE and R_VSIZE if set.

  Allows --nsize and --vsize to override these.

  Retains the previous minimum settings (200k and 2M) but if the user sets
  nothing uses 250K and 6M.  (Those just about allow MASS+lme to be
  loaded.)

This is in system.unix.c, so Unix-only. (I see no reason not to so
this under Windows too, although there are other ways there).

The only snag I see is that there is no way to change this on an
installation-wide basis except to edit bin/R or include/Defn.h
and re-compile, but I guess that (especially the first) is safe enough.

Brian
