the mark stack (and dMARK etc) are I32 even on 64-bit platforms

Module:

Description

mark indexes (which point to the beginning of a list on the value stack) are I32, this means that a list that starts above the 2**32 item mark typically crashes perl.

Steps to Reproduce

# no error, but warning: uses 48GB virtual memory
$ ./perl -Ilib  -E 'my @x; $x[0x7FFF_FFF0] = "Hello"; sub x { @x } my @y = grep defined, x();'
# crash:
$ ./perl -Ilib  -E 'my @x; $x[0x8000_0000] = "Hello"; sub x { @x } my @y = grep defined, x();'
Segmentation fault
$ gdb --args  ./perl -Ilib  -E 'my @x; $x[0x8000_0000] = "Hello"; sub x { @x } my @y = grep defined, x();'
...
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

(gdb) p PL_markstack_ptr[0]

Expected behavior

No crash.

My original example from #20841 is also a problem:

./perl -e 'my @x; $x[0x8000_0000] = 1; sub x { @x } my @y = x(); printf "%x\n", scalar(@y)'

but it runs my machine out of memory for the slightly smaller case.
