feat(tvix/eval): use backtrace-on-stack-overflow crate r/5340
The backtrace-on-stack-overflow create provides best-effort stack
traces when a stack overflow happens.  Since it's running on the
(usually tiny) signal alternate stack this isn't easy.

This is guarded by a new `backtrace_overflow` feature flag and never
enabled (even if that feature is selected) for release builds.  This
is strictly for debugging; there's crazy unsafe voodoo in there.

Example output:

```
