    Update default vm.args settings
    
     * Increase distribution buffer size from 1MB to 32MB. We've been using this
       value at Cloudant for years in all the clusters. RabbitMQ defaults to 128MB,
       which is even higher. This might speed busy clusters with lots of
       distribution traffic.
    
     * Add a commented out example of scheduling flags to use in a Docker or Kube
       environment with CFS quotas (advice taken from
       https://erlangforums.com/t/vm-tuning-guide/1945/3).
