runtime: improve error messages after allocating a stack that is too big

In the current implementation, we can observe crashes after calling
debug.SetMaxStack and allocating a stack larger than 4GB since
stackalloc works with 32-bit sizes. To avoid this, we define an upper
limit as the largest feasible point we can grow a stack to and provide a
better error message when we get a stack overflow.

Fixes #41228
