Adam Joseph 56c00df710 feat(tvix/eval): use backtrace-on-stack-overflow crate
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:

```

License structure

All code implemented for Tvix is licensed under the GPL-3.0, with the exception of the protocol buffer definitions used for communication between services which are available under a more permissive license (MIT).

The idea behind this structure is that any direct usage of our code (e.g. linking to it, embedding the evaluator, etc.) will fall under the terms of the GPL3, but users are free to implement their own components speaking these protocols under the terms of the MIT license.
