colfetcher,roachtest: re-enable direct scans metamorphization

This commit makes a couple of tweaks to the backup roachtests which
allows us to make the default value of `sql.distsql.direct_columnar_scans.enabled`
a metamorphic variable again. In particular, we need to disable this
setting for backups on `bank` data set due to pathological case as
described in #113816. This also allows us to reduce `--max-sql-memory`
since we don't expect memory usage to be as high without direct scans.

Fixes: #113816.

Release note: None
