A Redis sidecar whose consumer declares no services.redis.mem_limit
runs in a container that inherits the consumer's primary entity limit.
Since the lookup replaced the old filter, maxmemory followed that limit
and rose from 204 MiB to between 819 and 3276 MiB in 17 roles.

lookup('service_memory_mb', ..., provider=<role>) caps the result at
the same share of the provider's own limit when the application does
not declare one for that service. A declared limit is not capped, and a
container smaller than the provider keeps its own share. The Redis
sidecar passes provider='svc-db-redis': those 17 roles get 409 MiB, the
seven with a 256 MiB container stay at 204.

The lookup now rejects unknown options and a provider that is no role
or declares no limit for the service, so a misspelled option fails
instead of silently lifting the cap.

The memcached sidecar's literal -m 64 takes the same lookup and keeps
its value.
