evaluation with the recently introduced maximum stack usage monitoring revealed
that the actual used stack size was never above 4kB so allocating 1MB stack
for each coroutine is a lot of wasted memory. So reduce the stack size to
64kB which should still give enough head room. The guard page added
in qemu_alloc_stack will catch a potential stack overflow introduced
by this commit.
