bpo-34602: Avoid failures setting macOS stack resource limit (GH-14546)
Under some conditions the earlier fix for bpo-18075, "Infinite recursion tests triggering a segfault on Mac OS X", now causes failures on macOS when attempting to change stack limit with resource.setrlimit resource.RLIMIT_STACK, like regrtest does when running the test suite. The reverted change had specified a non-default stack size when linking the python executable on macOS. As of macOS 10.14.4, the previous code causes a hard failure when running tests, although similar failures had been seen under some conditions under some earlier systems. Reverting the change to the interpreter stack size at link time helped for release builds but caused some tests to fail when built --with-pydebug. Try the opposite approach: continue to build the interpreter with an increased stack size on macOS and remove the failing setrlimit call in regrtest initialization. This will definitely avoid the resource.RLIMIT_STACK error and should have no, or fewer, side effects.
