Make user stack limit configurable

Browse Source 
To aid in detecting and debugging stack overflow issues make the
user space stack limit configurable via a new ZFS_STACK_SIZE
environment variable.  The value assigned to ZFS_STACK_SIZE will
be used as the default stack size in bytes.

Because this is mainly useful as a debugging aid in conjunction
with ztest the stack limit is disabled by default.  See the ztest(1)
man page for additional details on using the ZFS_STACK_SIZE
environment variable.

Limit the default stack size to \fBstacksize\fR bytes for the purpose of
detecting and debugging kernel stack overflows. For x86_64 platforms this
value should be set as follows to simulate these platforms: \fB8192\fR
(Linux), \fB20480\fR (Illumos), \fB16384\fR (FreeBSD).
In practice you may need to set these value slightly higher because
differences in stack usage between kernel and user space can lead to spurious
stack overflows (especially when debugging is enabled). The specified value
will be rounded up to a floor of PTHREAD_STACK_MIN which is the minimum stack
required for a NULL procedure in user space.
By default the stack size is limited to 256K.
