Description
### Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge?
This would exercise the memory accounting feature, it would trigger operators to spill etc.
See this comment where the peak memory for running a query is 10GiB but some operators spill even with a memory limit of 50 GiB: https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/22526#issuecomment-4568611822
### Describe the solution you'd like
Instead of no memory limit, benchmarks should run with a default memory limit.
### Describe alternatives you've considered

Contributor guide
Research direction
No specific file or test is named. Start by locating the benchmark entry point and the existing memory-accounting configuration, then determine how benchmarks currently run without a limit. Done means benchmarks use a default memory limit and exercise accounting behavior such as operator spilling.
