We have a few kind of queries whose memory consumption is not limited at
all. One of these is reverse queries, which reads entire partitions into
memory, before reversing them. These partitions can be larger than
memory and thus such a query can single-handedly cause OOM.
This patch introduces a configuration for a memory limit for such
queries. This will serve as a hard limit and queries which attempt to
use more memory than this, will be aborted.
The limit is propagated to table objects, with the intention of keeping
system tables unlimited. These tables are usually small and initiators
of system queries are not prepared for failures.
