Add diagnostic explaining STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN not only being

used for stack buffer overruns if link.exe exits with that exit code

`STATUS_STACK_BUFFER_OVERRUN` is also used for fast abnormal program
termination, e.g. by abort(). Emit a special diagnostic to let people
know that this most likely doesn't indicate a stack buffer overrun.
