memory_limit is not always limited by max_memory_limit

Make sure to always duplicate max_memory_limit ini value. Otherwise the alter
ini routine may assume the value hasn't been overwritten, resulting in the
user-specified value being set after the on_modify handler has run.

Fixes GH-17951
Closes GH-19963

(cherry picked from commit 37e82ea)
