inspector: more conservative minimum stack size

PTHREAD_STACK_MIN is 2 KB with musl, which is too small to safely
receive signals. PTHREAD_STACK_MIN + MINSIGSTKSZ is 8 KB on arm64,
which is the musl architecture with the biggest MINSIGSTKSZ so let's
use that as a lower bound and let's quadruple it just in case.
