win: move stack_overflow_warning to the backtrace fiber (#55640)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
There is not enough stack space remaining after a stack overflow on
Windows to allocate the 4k page used by `write` to call the WriteFile
syscall. This causes it to hard-crash. But we can simply run this on the
altstack implementation, where there is plenty of space.
