    Default to infinite stack size (#8189)
    
    When servicing a stack overflows, only throw an exception to the given
    thread if the user explicitly set a max stack size, using +RTS -K.
    Otherwise just service it normally and grow the stack.
    
    In case we actually run out of *heap* (stack chuncks are allocated on
    the heap), then we need to bail by calling the stackOverflow() hook and
    exit immediately.
