Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/5048

Add a new command, possibly ollama free, to immediately free the currently running model out of memory, instead of waiting the default five minutes, as an alternative to keep alive parameter. Additionally, add the option into the context menu of ollama taskbar icon, next to view logs and quit ollama buttons.
