```
linux: do not set stack size hard limit

At main startup, if the ELF auxiliary vector contains a stacksize value,
use it as a hint for the minimum stacksize required by the executable.

1. Never lower the hard-limit. Once a hard-limit is lowered, then it can
   never be increased (including child processes).

2. If hint exceeds hard-limit then clamp hint to hard-limit.

3. If soft-limit exceeds hint then do nothing.

```
