Fixes Zombied Servers & README tips

- KeepAlive has been added due to extended up-times causing the next rcon command (DoExit) in-console to timeout; resulting in zombied servers.
- Added some very helpful troubleshooting tips to the README
- Added Known Issues to the README
- Bumped up the RAM requirements in the README

## Troubleshooting
Crash logs are available in the Files `ShooterGame/Saved/Crashes/UECC-Windows-*/CrashContext.runtime-xml`
1) Try starting the server with no mods on a fresh install.
2) If there are crash logs, they will be available in the Files at `ShooterGame/Saved/Crashes/UECC-Windows-*/CrashContext.runtime-xml`
### Crash Identifiers
Crashes will either stop the server or display 0-5% CPU usage.
The number is in reference to RAM/Memory usage.
1) Server crashing around 500MB is probably either a config issue or a corrupted install.
2) Server crashing around 750MB is probably commandline issue.
3) Server crashing around 1GB is probably either a MOD conflict or corrupted SavedArks files.
## Known Issues
1) ARK: Survival Ascended, currently, does not support more than one server per IP.
These are Windows Server files running on a Linux container; so, we believe this is the issue.
2) ARK's wiki heavily reference A:SE and not all features are available in A:SA.
## Recommended server settings
### Minimum RAM
This server requires about 8-10GB of RAM to run with no players on a default map.
This server requires about 11GB of RAM to run with no players on a default map.
