kcms/about-distro: MemoryEntry improvement
Add help property to Entry & show total amount of installed memory in MemoryEntry
This provides additional information to the user, with a new help tooltip that clarifies the displayed values as is contextually appropriate. For example, if the shown message is "32 GB of RAM (31.3 GB usable)", the tooltip will elucidate that some memory is reserved for use by system hardware.
| Scenario | Text | Tooltip |
|---|---|---|
| Total and available known | %1 of RAM (%2 usable) | Some memory is reserved for use by the kernel or system hardware such as integrated graphics memory. |
| Known total only | %1 of RAM | The amount of usable memory may be lower than the displayed amount because some memory is reserved for use by the kernel or system hardware, such as integrated graphics memory. |
| Known available only | %1 of usable RAM | The amount of memory displayed may be lower than the installed amount because some memory is reserved for use by the kernel or system hardware, such as integrated graphics memory. |
| Both unknown | Unknown | [Not displayed] |
