[PATCH] qgraph: implement stack as a linked list

[Paolo Bonzini]

The stack used to visit the graph is implemented as a fixed-size array,
and the array is sized according to the maximum anticipated length of
a path on the graph.  However, the worst case for a depth-first search
is to push all nodes on the graph, and in fact stack overflows have
been observed in the past depending on the ordering of the constructors.

To fix the problem once and for all, use a QSLIST instead of the array,
allocating QOSStackElements from the heap.
