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.

Ought we check that this is not smaller than

     sysconf(_SC_THREAD_STACK_MIN)

which (for glibc at least), is 192k for ia64, 128k for aarch64, mips and tile 
(though why it is quite so high in those later cases I don't know).

for x86_64 it seems to be 16k. I would not mind to adjust the stack size either in qemu_alloc_stack or change the macro for the coroutine stack
size into a function returning MAX(1 << 16, sysconf(_SC_THREAD_STACK_MIN)).

Yes, either of this is a good idea.
