Cookbook GPU/RAM toggle: default to whichever pool has more capacity

On initial render, compare total_ram_gb vs gpu_vram_gb — if RAM is
the larger pool, pre-select the RAM (count=0) button instead of the
max-GPU button. Boxes with more system RAM than VRAM (low-VRAM
GPU + lots of system memory, or CPU-only servers with a small
adapter) now open on the dominant pool.
