Issue #5765: Apply a hard recursion limit in the compiler

Previously, excessive nesting in expressions would blow the
stack and segfault the interpreter. Now, a hard limit based
on the configured recursion limit and a hardcoded scaling
factor is applied.

The u pointer points to the current compilation unit, while units
for enclosing blocks are stored in c_stack. The u and c_stack are
managed by compiler_enter_scope() and compiler_exit_scope().
Note that we don't track recursion levels during compilation - the
task of detecting and rejecting excessive levels of nesting is
handled by the symbol analysis pass.
