    Remove explicit recursion in retainer profiling (fixes #14758)
    
    Retainer profiling contained a recursion that under
    certain circumstances could lead to the stack overflow
    in C code.
    
    The idea of the improvement is to keep an explicit stack for the
    object, more precise to reuse existing stack, but allow new type of
    objects to be stored there.
    
    There is no reliable reproducer that is not a big program
    but in some cases foldr (+) 0 [1..10000000] can work.
