[Crash-utility] [PATCH] cmdline: Add a new "--machdep stacksize=<value>".

Implemented support for 16k stack size that was introduced by commit
6538b8ea886e472f4431db8ca1d60478f838d14b titled "x86_64: expand kernel
stack to 16K".
Without the patch, kernels has 16k stack, leading to errors in commands
such as "bt" and any command regarding 8K stack.
Add a new "--machdep stacksize=<value>" option that can be used to
override the default machdep->stacksize value which is 8k.
