[SPARK-8289] Specify stack size for consistency with Java tests - resolves test failures

This change is a simple one and specifies a stack size of 4096k instead of the vendor default for Java tests (the defaults vary between Java vendors). This remedies test failures observed with JavaALSSuite with IBM and Oracle Java owing to a lower default size in comparison to the size with OpenJDK. 4096k is a suitable default where the tests pass with each Java vendor tested. The alternative is to reduce the number of iterations in the test (no observed failures with 5 iterations instead of 15).

-Xss works with Oracle's HotSpot VM, IBM's J9 VM and OpenJDK (IcedTea).

I have ensured this does not have any negative implications for other tests.
