Review Comment:
   gc'ing basically compacts string data together so it requires less memory to 
store but requires a copy of the values
   
   I think the implication of doing this gc before checking for limit is that 
we may copy the last batch worth of data prior to a limit being hit just to 
throw it away. However, the plan is about to shut down anyways (will switch to 
`CoalesceBatchesStreamState::Exhausted`) so I don't think this is a major 
problem
