With the vsock-pkt-buffer fix in proxmox-backup-restore-image, we can
use way less memory for the VM without risking any crashes. 128 MiB
seems to be the lowest it will go and still be fully reliable.
While at it, add the "panic=1" argument to the kernel command line, so
in case the kernel *does* run out of memory, it will at least restart
automatically.

Depends on proxmox-backup-restore-image patch, otherwise this will lead to
crashes during downloads.
Note that when debugging with this patch, you need to enable release builds, as
the debug build of proxmox-file-restore-daemon is too big to fit in 128 MiB of
memory (via the initramfs).
