runtime: increase assumed stack size in externalthreadhandler

On Windows, externalthreadhandler currently sets the assumed stack
size for the profiler thread and the ctrlhandler threads to 8KB. The
actual stack size is determined by the SizeOfStackReserve field in the
binary set by the linker, which is currently at least 64KB (and
typically 128KB).

It turns out the profiler thread is running within a few words of the
8KB-(stack guard) bound set by externalthreadhandler. If it overflows
this bound, morestack crashes unceremoniously with an access
violation, which we then fail to handle, causing the whole process to
exit without explanation.

To avoid this problem and give us some breathing room, increase the
assumed stack size in externalthreadhandler to 32KB (there's some
unknown amount of stack already in use, so it's not safe to increase
this all the way to the reserve size).

We also document the relationships between externalthreadhandler and
SizeOfStackReserve to make this more obvious in the future.
