Chris Tate f388612dcd Make the worker stack-overflow fixture independent of event order
A worker's messages and its uncaught 'error' event reach the parent on
separate channels in Node, so their relative order is not specified and
can differ under load. The fixture now records both and reports them when
the worker exits, which Node and native executables deliver after both.

Chris Tate 3bcf761f42 Throw a catchable RangeError on deep recursion
Native executables used to terminate with a signal when recursion
exhausted the stack. Functions that can take part in unbounded recursion
now compare the stack pointer against a per-stack guard on entry and
throw Node's `RangeError: Maximum call stack size exceeded` through the
ordinary exception path, so catch handlers, finally blocks, worker error
events and the uncaught-error exit code behave as they do under Node.

- The checked set is every function on a cycle of the call graph, where
  operations that can reenter compiled code indirectly (indirect calls,
  callbacks, dynamic and library operations) reach closure targets and
  class members. Non-recursive functions, including leaf callbacks, stay
  check-free, and the may-throw analysis accounts for the new throw.
- The runtime installs the guard per context (main thread from the stack
  rlimit, workers from their thread attributes) and per async fiber, with
  a reserve for the throw, unwinding and error reporting. Worker threads
  now get an explicit 8 MiB stack.
- Scalar call results pass through the unwind path as its dummy value, so
  calls in tail position keep tail-call and recursion elimination.
