[core] Add max iteration count for detecting infinite loops

[davidkpiano]

Add maxIterations option to configure the maximum number of microsteps allowed before throwing an infinite loop error. The default is Infinity (no limit) to avoid breaking existing machines.
You can configure it when creating a machine:

const machine = createMachine({
  // ... machine config
  options: {
    maxIterations: 1000 // set a limit to enable infinite loop detection
  }
});

It's yet another place when some options are accepted. I'm not saying this is inherently bad but I can see how this might not be that discoverable given this is the only option accepted this way now.

I also wonder, shouldn't this kinda be a global option really? As a user, I don't see myself using this everywhere - and currently I'd have to because it's opt-in.

Some of other libraries (like even React) just implements such protections automatically and they don't allow the user to confgure the "depth count" that triggers the error.

There may be good reasons for iterations to go > 100; think any while loop that needs to loop N times where N may be > 100 but still finite. I just don't want to break anything right now.
