…ack (pythonGH-155120) Add the @support.run_with_limited_c_stack() decorator which runs the test in a thread with a 8 MiB C stack, so that the outcome does not depend on RLIMIT_STACK. Use it in tests which recurse to a fixed depth -- @support.skip_if_huge_c_stack() failed to skip them with a 16 MiB stack.

Add the @support.run_with_limited_c_stack() decorator which runs the test
in a thread with a 8 MiB C stack, so that the outcome does not depend on
RLIMIT_STACK. Use it in tests which recurse to a fixed depth --
@support.skip_if_huge_c_stack() failed to skip them with a 16 MiB stack.
