> There is a memory allocation bug in the mserver.

Fix for this problem introduced a new problem, an infinite loop in bm_flush_cache, 
bitbucket bugs https://bitbucket.org/tmidas/midas/issues/339/infinite-loop-in-
mserver-due-to-mfes and https://bitbucket.org/tmidas/midas/issues/331/stuck-
semaphore-of-system-buffer

This is now fixed and the buffer write cache logic and size was rejigged
according to calculations in https://daq00.triumf.ca/elog-midas/Midas/2401

Event buffer write cache (as set via ODB Equipment/Common and via 
bm_set_cache_size()) now take 2 possible values:
0 - write cache is disabled and
MIN_WRITE_CACHE_SIZE - (10 Mbytes) minimum permitted cache size
bigger cache size values are permitted, up to buffer_size/3, but probably not useful 
if my calculations are right.
smaller cache size values are generally not useful, if my calculations are right.

mfe.c and tmfe c++ frontends updated to request the new write cache size by default.

if events are getting stuck in the write cache for too long, instead of reducing the 
cache size, one should increase frequency of bm_flush_cache() calls (1/sec by 
default).
