Summary

We've seen a bit of a spike of out of memory errors. Adding this option to the settings dialog provides an easy way to mitigate out of memory errors at the cost of allowing higher memory usage.

Fixes #18511

Code Review

This pull request adds a new setting to the settings dialog to allow users to autoconfigure memory usage, which can help mitigate out-of-memory errors. The changes correctly update the settings schema to show the option in the dialog, add corresponding documentation, and update tests. My review includes one point of feedback on improving the test mock data to better align with the actual schema, which will improve test robustness.
