Use an explicit stack instead of recursion when parameterizing splines (#2197)

Browse Source 
This PR changes the spline parameterizer to use an explicit stack instead of recursion. This is motivated by the fact that splines with adjacent waypoints with approximately opposite headings will never parameterize. In this case the parameterizer subdivides these malformed splines fine for a while, and then gets stuck parameterizing infinitely on some interval. In the recursive approach, this would lead to a stack overflow. We could implement a recursion depth counter (this is what my team did on our similar trajectory code last season), but it's hard to choose a good number for max depth because the initial amount of stack used varies based on how the user calls Parameterize.

A good solution for this is converting the recursion to an "explicit stack," which basically simulates recursion, but allows us to have a much larger maximum stack size. Because we avoid the stack overflow, we can instead throws a more informative MalformedSplineException. If the user is using the TrajectoryGenerator instead of the SplineParameterizer directly then the TrajectoryGenerator will go ahead and catch the exception, return a harmless empty trajectory, and report and error to the driver station.
