How to find the default value of e.g. -sSTACK_SIZE

[Stephan Bergmann]

One thing that puzzles me with emcc is how to find out what default
values are being used in the absence of certain -s options, like
-sSTACK_SIZE=.... I find various mentions of STACK_SIZE across the
<https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/> tools/ dir, but none
that suggests that it would set a default value. (And still, a linker
invocation without an explicit -sSTACK_SIZE=... apparently passes -z
stack-size=65536, wherever it takes that value from.)

The most reliable documentation for emscripten CLI settings is to look at settings.js in the source:

https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/blob/main/src/settings.js#L99

The default here is indeed 65536 (64*1024).

Inspired by this discussion, I added the default values to the settings HTML page now in

https://github.com/emscripten-core/emscripten/pull/21943

For example here is STACK_SIZE:

https://emscripten.org/docs/tools_reference/settings_reference.html#stack-size

Ah, and the Python code reads the JavaScript settings.js via some
`read_js_settings` in `tools/settings.py`. (It didn't occur to me to
hunt JavaScript files for the Python settings ;)

Thanks all!
