Stack size warnings in GCC 4.7

GCC 4.7 has a new warning to check for stack usage over a certain amount.  I added a check -Wstack-usage=500 to the compiler flags.

https://github.com/parrot/parrot/commit/d990f60e7b51edc124a93d62dbb802c4dae4b6b7

Here are the warnings it kicked out.  I don't see anything obviously horrible, but it's nice to have the flag there in the future.

    src/debug.c: In function ‘size_t PDB_disassemble_op(Parrot_Interp, char*, size_t, const op_info_t*, const opcode_t*, PDB_file_t*, const opcode_t*, int)’:
