jsonb_plperl, jsonb_plpython: Fix unguarded recursion and loops.

Add check_stack_depth() to Jsonb_to_SV, SV_to_JsonbValue,
PLyObject_FromJsonbContainer, and PLyObject_ToJsonbValue.  Without
this, deeply nested JSONB values can crash the backend with SIGSEGV
instead of raising a proper error.

Also add CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() to the while loop in SV_to_JsonbValue
that dereferences chains of Perl references, so that a circular
reference (e.g. $x = \$x) can be cancelled by the user instead of
spinning indefinitely.  (We looked at detecting such circular
references, but it seems more trouble than it's worth.)
