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.

* lisp/subr.el (max-specpdl-size):
Define as an ordinary (but obsolete) dynamic variable.

Update documentation.
* etc/NEWS: Announce.
