[Ovmsdev] Revised memory diagnostics code

I've added a small fix to reenable building without memory debugging.

The base footprint of a vehicle module is…


OVMS > vehicle module NONE
I (31916) v-none: Generic NONE vehicle module
OVMS > module memory AsyncConsole

============================


… 5608 bytes (5328 w/o debugging overhead).

It seems the list output is sorted LIFO, i.e. the 96 byte allocation
(sizeof(OvmsVehicle) + 20) was the first here.

The 504 (484) block is the CAN rx queue, the 4116 (4096) & 380 (360)
bytes are the CAN rx task stack & control structs.

The small allocations following seem to be some std::strings, haven't
tracked them down yet. Not all of them get freed on unloading the
vehicle module.


Regards,
Michael
