Allow option to show *active* memory instead of *used*

When using the extension, it will show how much memory is being "used", which in the systeminformation module includes buffers & cache. This figure can be misleading, as buffered and cached memory is still technically available for use if needed.
I propose that either the used figure should default to a figure which does not include buffers and cache (referred to as active by the systeminformation module), or to allow the user an option in the configuration settings to change between the two (including or excluding buffers & cache).

I'm taking a look at this. Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks - I should have addressed this now.

Let me know if there are any more requests that you may have. I was thinking of having a graph over time of the data, sort of like the Ubuntu System Monitor, if that sounds interesting!
