Jitstress fixes for tailcall tests (#1771)

Make STRESS_GENERIC_VARN more compatible with methods that make explicit tail
calls. Don't add gc checks for explicit tail calls, and remove the code in
morph that blocks tail calls if gc checks are active.

Update the tailcall test to to disable STRESS_UNSAFE_BUFFER_CHECKS. This can
be reverted when #341 is merged.

Fixes #1752.
