GDAL error with Contour Chart #859

Description

@simoneves

HeavyDB 9.x throws the following error and crashes when the Contour Chart is used:

2026-04-09T21:34:24.645443 E 54 471 7549 GDAL.cpp:58 GDAL Failure: Opening a MEM dataset with the MEM:::DATAPOINTER= syntax is no longer supported by default for security reasons. If you want to allow it, define the GDAL_MEM_ENABLE_OPEN configuration option to YES, or build GDAL with the GDAL_MEM_ENABLE_OPEN compilation definition (1)

This is due to a security policy change introduced in GDAL 3.10, which we updated our build containers to in December 2024 (...oops)

There is a GDAL config option to disable the check if you know that the memory pointer you are providing is "safe", which in our case it really is because it's a local allocation rather than anything from "unsafe" user input.
