esp8266: Fix garbage collector by hard-coding stack end address.
As user_init() is not a true main functions, the stack pointer captured within is not pointing at the base of the stack. This caused gc_collect being called with sp being higher than stack_end, causing integer overflow and crashing as gc tried to scan almost the entire address space.
