The checkstack script omits all functions with a stack usage of less than
100 bytes.  However the script already has support for a parameter which
allows to override the default, but it cannot be set with

$ make checkstack

Add a MINSTACKSIZE parameter which allows to change the default. This might
be useful in order to print the stack usage of all functions, or only those
with large stack usage:

$ make checkstack MINSTACKSIZE=0
$ make checkstack MINSTACKSIZE=800
