Prevent builds against SpiderMonkey with exact stack rooting
“Exact stack rooting” means that every on-stack pointer to a JavaScript value needs to be registered with the runtime. The current code doesn't do this, so it is not safe to use against a runtime with this configuration. Luckily this configuration is not default. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/SpiderMonkey/Internals/GC/Exact_Stack_Rooting and other pages in the wiki for what the conversion would require. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69501
