When fs.inotify.max_user_watches is increased, memory allocation is also increased. This change adds a relation between them.

This change was made based on the Visual Studio Code documentation. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/1dc6fb1089cba238fb78a2e37ca3a4f4e68bdbdb/docs/setup/linux.md?plain=1#L290

Fixes #568.
