Croak when range tries to extend stack too far
This fixes the rest of ticket #119161. The range operator uses IVs internally to hold the current value for integer ranges. It already checks that the arguments are within the IV range and croaks otherwise. However, on 32-bit platforms with 64-bit integers, the different between the range’s endpoints can exceed the maximum allowed memory allocation. This resulted in a crash for 1..2**31, because EXTEND was passed a value which, when cast to SSize_t, became -1, resulting in no reallocation. Then pp_flop proceeded to write past the end of the stack. No tests are included in this commit, as 1..2**31 could give three different results depending on the platform.
