Port alternate signal stack to upcoming glibc 2.34

* src/sysdep.c (sigsegv_stack): Increase size to 64 KiB and align
it to max_align_t.  This copies from Gnulib’s c-stack.c, and works
around a portability bug in draft glibc 2.34, which no longer
defines SIGSTKSZ when _GNU_SOURCE is defined.

(cherry picked from commit f97e07ea807cc6d38774a3888a15091b20645ac6)
