fix: give each instance's Postgres a 12 GB disk image and a 4 GB memory limit (#16)

- db disk image 6144 -> 12288 MiB (VOLUMES["db"]): instance 4 had reached
  4.7 GB of its 6 GB and instances kept being recreated when the image filled.
- db memory request/limit 512/2048 -> 1024/4096 MiB (MEMORY["db"]); the
  per-instance totals become 2.375 GiB requested and 11 GiB limit.
- README (disk and memory rows, totals) and the unit tests follow the new
  numbers; release 1.6.5.

Only instances created afterwards get the bigger disk image: existing ones
have to be deleted and created again.

The request is what the scheduler sets aside for a service and can never be given to anything else.
The limit is the ceiling the kernel kills the container at. They do different jobs here.
