mem_t: Throw an error if zero-sized memory is requested (#168)

* mem_t: Throw an error if zero-sized memory is requested

If for some reason the user requests a memory size of 0 megabytes, print
a useful error message.

* Check for overflow in memory size

If the user passes in a large enough memory size (-m) that the size in
bytes doesn't fit into size_t, catch this error in the make_mems function.
