tests: fix test failure due to os.freemem() behaviour change in node v18

[trentm]

Recent node v18 nightly builds changed the behaviour of os.freemem()
on Linux to report "MemAvailable" from /proc/meminfo rather than
"MemFree". This broke our tests.

The nightly "edge" tests started failing ~6-7 days ago with:

running test: cd . && node --unhandled-rejections=strict test/metrics/index.test.js > test_output/test-metrics-index.test.js.tap 2&>1

The breakage started in node nightly build "v18.0.0-nightly20220107b6b6510187".
The culprit node change was nodejs/node#41398, which upgrades libuv, which brought in a change to os.freemem() on Linux: libuv/libuv#3351

This broke an assumption in our tests.
