EvalState::callFunction(): Make FunctionCallTrace use less stack space

Browse source 
The FunctionCallTrace object consumes a few hundred bytes of stack
space, even when tracing is disabled. This was causing stack overflows:

  $ nix-instantiate '<nixpkgs> -A texlive.combined.scheme-full --dry-run
  error: stack overflow (possible infinite recursion)

This is with the default stack size of 8 MiB.

Putting the object on the heap reduces stack usage to < 5 MiB.
