Starting with Windows Build 20348 the behavior of the numa API has been changed:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/procthread/numa-support
Old code only worked because there was probably a limit on how many
cores/threads can reside within one NUMA node, and the OS creates extra NUMA
nodes when necessary, however the actual mechanism of core binding is
done by "Processor Groups"(https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/procthread/processor-groups). With a newer OS, one NUMA node can have many
such "Processor Groups" and we should just consistently use the number
of groups to bind the threads instead of deriving the topology from
the number of NUMA nodes.
This change is required to spread threads on all cores on Windows 11 with
a 3990X CPU. It has only 1 NUMA node with 2 groups of 64 threads each.

It seems there is no other way to specify stack size on std::thread than linker
flags and the effective flags are named differently in many toolchains. On
toolchains where pthread is always available, this patch changes the stack
size change in our C++ code via pthread to ensure a minimum stack size of 8MB,
instead of relying on linker defaults which may be platform-specific.
Also raises default stack size on OSX to current Linux default (8MB) just to
be safe.
