[m-rev.] for review: increase stack sizes

[Zoltan Somogyi]

Term size profiling adds more variables to procedures, and thus increases
stack frame sizes. When term size profiling and debugging are both enabled,
the compiler cannot bootstrap itself without bumping into limits in the size
of both of the stacks. This indicates that compiler even without term size
profiling, the compiler uses most of the space in the stacks, and is close
to the limit.

The additional costs are minimal, both in space and in gc scan time,
compared to the cost of an unexpected program abort with a SIGSEGV.

Zoltan.

runtime/mercury_wrapper.c:
	Double the default stack sizes.
