docs: mention the need for worker process restarts to avoid "memory leaks" (Issue #346)

It might not be ideal to mention such details in the overview, but that seems
like the best place for generic advice.

(Kallithea should still aim for keeping memory growth under control.)

 .. note::
    Kallithea, the libraries it uses, and Python itself do in several places use
    simple caching in memory. Caches and memory are not always released in a way
    that is suitable for long-running processes. They might appear to be leaking
    memory. The worker processes should thus regularly be restarted - for
    example after 1000 requests and/or one hour. This can usually be done by the
    web server or the tool used for running it as a system service.
