Problem: Stack overflow in Windows VS 2012 builds for simple ZeroMQ usage. Solution: Added notice in INSTALL file to mandatory use at least 2 MB stack size in VS 2012 and recommendation to use at least 2 MB in all other Windows builds.

In VS 2012 it is mandatory to increase the default stack size of 1 MB to
at least 2 MB due to implementation of std::map intermittently requiring
substantial amount of stack and causing stack overflow. ZeroMQ generally
needs more stack when FD_SETSIZE is higher.
In all Windows builds it is recommended to start with at least 2 MB stack
size unless application using ZeroMQ is using large number of threads which
can cause substantial consumption of virtual address space, especially if
32 bit build is used.
Generally, programmer needs to tune the stack to balance memory consumption
but never get into situation that stack is overflown.
