bootloader: reduce stack usage

On Sparc Openboot, we get allocated a stack of only 8 kilobytes, and
each called function costs at least 176 bytes for the stack frame.

This means we need to be more careful than usual about stack usage. Move
some large-ish allocations off the stack by either making them static,
or allocated dynamically.

Add a compiler flag to error on functions which use too much stack. The
threshold is at 1023 bytes, because that's what allowed me to find the
two functions that were causing a stack overflow (open_from and
_ParseActivatedPackagesFile)
