delta how much to shrink by
return: new limit, or old limit if failure
From: Interpreter
Why:
To shrink the oops space

Responsibility:
This logic comes from windows

MacIntosh
os-9/OSXCarbon
Just slide the pointer downwards, exploit sqGrowMemoryBy using a negative number

Cocoa:
See iPhone

iPhone
Just slide the pointer downwards, exploit sqGrowMemoryBy using a negative number

Unix
may use mmap to remap the memory size, but this is unlikely since that logic is turned off by default, otherwise
Just slide the pointer downwards

Windows
Use VirtualFree to free memory, if it fails return the old limit
