feat: Report available system memory under dcc_free_mem

This patch adds a trivial wrapper HTTP server, written in Python, that
intercepts the requests going towards the `--stats-port` of the running
`distccd` server.
It relays the request verbatim at first, and if the response is a valid
statistics message, extends it at the bottom with a line

    dcc_free_mem 16384 MB

where the numeric value is obtained from `free`'s output under
**Available** system memory.
