Should handle somehow that this can throw now.

It throws before too.

To be precise: now create_local_context() throws, previously OperandStack was throwing (now noexcept).
Someone should handle this separately. But there is also easy solution: have fixed shared stack space. In case of out-of-space we can trap the execution.

Catching bad_alloc and trapping would also be easy

But this is non-deterministic execution.

It would allow a performance degrading behaviour like growing stack to almost DefaultStackSpaceSegmentSize, then calling a function in a loop that goes over the limit, allocates new segment and immediately deallocates after return, and that's repeated in a loop.
Should this be a concern? I can imagine mitigation with increasing allocation size each time, and keeping the last allocation size in m_shared_ctx.

It is a concern, but the same as before (where stack space was dynamically allocated in some cases).
I don't think the increasing allocation size is the solution - it will still continue to deallocating new segment, now bigger each time.
The solution I considered is never deallocate segments. They work as linked list of buffers. However, such solution might require more housekeeping.

This implements segmented stack space inside ExecutionContext. I will add more documentation how it works later.
Replaces #529 and #572.
Generally, having unlimited stack space is PITA, but doable.
Before this lands I propose to generalize
ExecutionContext:execution_context.hpp,Guardto something likeLocalContext,increment_call_depth()to something likecreate_local_context().
