(Whiteboard: [sg:nse] code cleanup)

Alloca chews stack. While we think we have all *unbounded* cases of its use accounted for and capped, the remaining uses are still significant, and it's unbecoming to use stack we don't need to, a potential source of security risk. There's a patch in bug 484693 that's a little unstable, but removes all uses of it. Finish, fix and land this patch.

Graydon, is this fixed (now that bug 484693 is fixed)?
Nope. jstracer.cpp is still sporting a few of 'em. We have some new js::Vector jazz to play with here though, I'm sure we can work something out.
Long obsolete.
