mempress: change default PSI window duration to 2s
This changes the PSI window duration we default to for watching memory pressure events from 1s to 2s. This is because apparently the kernel will soon disallow window durations other than 2s for unprivileged processes. Hence, we'll bump the threshold from 100m to 200ms, and the window from 1s to 2s.
