Improve the heuristic for distinguishing stack overflows from
other SIGSEGV causes (Bug#21004).  Corinna Vinschen explained that
the getrlimit method wasn't portable to Cygwin; see:
https://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2015-07/msg00092.html
Corinna suggested pthread_getattr_np but this also has problems.
Instead, replace the low-level system stuff with a simple
heuristic based on known good stack addresses.
* src/eval.c, src/lisp.h (near_C_stack_top): New function.
* src/sysdep.c: Don't include <sys/resource.h>.
(stack_direction): Remove.  All uses removed.
(stack_overflow): New function.
(handle_sigsegv): Use it instead of incorrect getrlimit heuristic.
Make SEGV fatal in non-main threads.
