+c-stack: stop using SIGSTKSZ
+
+It’s been proposed to stop making SIGSTKSZ an integer constant:
+https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2020-September/118028.html
+Also, using SIGSTKSZ in #if did not conform to current POSIX.
+Also, avoiding SIGSTKSZ makes the code simpler and easier to grok.
+* lib/c-stack.c (SIGSTKSZ): Remove.
+(alternate_signal_stack): Now a 64 KiB array, for simplicity.
+All uses changed.
