This change moves some options to a more appropriate section for the config file. This only deprecates the old options for now, so they're still valid, but we will remove them later (maybe after the next stable release, to give warning). One thing I want to do for the legend position options is maybe expand it, and now is the best time to do so, but for now I'm just copying it over verbatim. The deprecated options will also emit a warning to stderr. This PR also contains a driveby to alias `[network]` to `[network_graph]`.

Memory Widget
The memory widget provides a visual representation of RAM and swap usage over time.
Features
The legend displays the current usage in terms of percentage and actual usage in binary units (KiB, MiB, GiB, etc.). If the total RAM or swap available is 0, then it is automatically hidden from the legend and graph.
One can also adjust the displayed time range through either the keyboard or mouse, with a range of 30s to 600s.
This widget can also be configured to display Nvidia and AMD GPU memory usage (--disable_gpu on Linux/Windows to disable) or cache memory usage (--enable_cache_memory).
Key bindings
Note that key bindings are generally case-sensitive.
| Binding | Action |
|---|---|
| ++plus++ | Zoom in on chart (decrease time range) |
| ++minus++ | Zoom out on chart (increase time range) |
| ++equal++ | Reset zoom |
Mouse bindings
| Binding | Action |
|---|---|
| ++"Scroll"++ | Scrolling up or down zooms in or out of the graph respectively |
How are memory values determined?
Linux
Memory usage is calculated using the following formula based on values from /proc/meminfo (based on htop's implementation):
MemTotal - MemFree - Buffers - (Cached + SReclaimable - Shmem)
You can find more info on /proc/meminfo and its fields here.
Windows
In Windows, we calculate swap by querying Get-Counter "\Paging File(*)\% Usage". This
is also what some libraries like psutil use. However, note there are also a few other valid methods of
representing "swap" in Windows (e.g. using GetPerformanceInfo), which all slightly don't
match.
