Shane McCarron da046da59f fix(ts-runtime): bound GLR stack-merge recursion to prevent stack overflow
tree-sitter's GLR parser merges ambiguous parse-stack heads recursively in
stack_node_add_link (internal/cbm/vendored/ts_runtime/src/stack.c), once per
nesting level. On pathologically nested input whose grammar is ambiguous
(Perl's paren-optional calls, f(f(f(...)))), that recursion overflows the
native stack during the parse — a small ~1 MB Windows thread stack, and even
an 8 MB POSIX stack at extreme depth — before any extraction runs. Grammars
that are unambiguous here (Java, C++) never trigger the recursive merge.

Cap the recursive merge at CBM_TS_STACK_MERGE_MAX_DEPTH (512) via a
depth-tracked inner worker; the public stack_node_add_link is a thin wrapper
seeding depth 0, so every existing call site is unchanged. Past the cap the
ambiguity is left on the GLR stack instead of merged — a valid parse, never a
wrong one. 512 frames is well within a 1 MB stack while far exceeding any
realistic source nesting.

Add perl_glr_deep_parse_recursion_capped: a crash-isolating regression that
parses deep ambiguous Perl directly (a forked child on POSIX, in-process on
Windows), bypassing cbm_extract_file's CBM_PERL_MAX_PARSE_NESTING pre-parse
guard so the vendored cap itself is exercised rather than the guard.

Narrow vendored-runtime change; no other parsing behavior is affected. The
higher-level Perl pre-parse guard (issue #913 context) stays in place and can
be retired in a follow-up once this cap is proven in the field.
