Fix segfault on infinite recursion in some cases

This fixes a segfault on infinite function call recursion (rather than
infinite thunk recursion) by tracking the function call depth in
`EvalState`.

Additionally, to avoid printing extremely long stack traces, stack
frames are now deduplicated, with a `(19997 duplicate traces omitted)`
message. This should only really be triggered in infinite recursion
scenarios.

Before:

    $ nix-instantiate --eval --expr '(x: x x) (x: x x)'
    Segmentation fault: 11

After:

    $ nix-instantiate --eval --expr '(x: x x) (x: x x)'
    error: stack overflow
