Abolish max-specpdl-size (bug#57911)

The max-lisp-eval-depth limit is sufficient to prevent unbounded stack
growth including the specbind stack; simplify matters for the user by
not having them to worry about two different limits.  This change
turns max-specpdl-size into a harmless variable with no effects,
to keep existing code happy.
