Change default stack size in simgrid to 8MiB.

This should not really allocate the 8 MiB in RAM, thus occupating the same amount of real memory than before
This behavior is at least true on Linux and BSD systems

 If you want to push the scalability limits of your code, you really
 want to reduce the \b contexts/stack_size item. Its default value

 is the one of the system, if it is too large/small, it has to be set 
 with this parameter.
