> Hi,
> 
> in this PR the output value types for functions which return memory are changed, namely:
> 
> 
> static julong available_memory(); --> static bool available_memory(size_t& value);
> static julong used_memory(); --> static bool used_memory(size_t& value);
> static julong free_memory(); --> static bool free_memory(size_t& value); 
> static jlong total_swap_space(); --> static bool total_swap_space(size_t& value);
> static jlong free_swap_space(); --> static bool free_swap_space(size_t& value); 
> static julong physical_memory(); --> static bool physical_memory(size_t& value);

> The return boolean value indicates success, whereas the actual value is assigned to the input argument. The following recommended usage pattern is introduced: where applicable, and unsuccessful call is logged. 
> 
> Later, the return value can be attributed with `[[nodiscard]]` to enforce the pattern.
> 
> Tested in GHA and Tiers 1-5.
