     Fix Windows breakage (#5322).  When I modified StgRun to use the pure
     assembly version as part of the fix for #5250, we inadvertently lost
     the Windows magic for extending the stack.  Win32 requires that the
     stack is extended a page at a time, otherwise you get a segfault.  The
     C compiler knows how to do this, so we now call a C stub to ensure
     there's enough stack space at each invocation of the scheduler.
