channel: Delay notifications to avoid client race conditions

It is currently possible for a client to send a response that doesn't match the
current server->client request(at the top of the stack). This commit fixes that
by delaying notifications to until the first `channel_send_call` invocation
returns.

Also remove the "call stack" size check, vim will already break if the call
stack goes too deep.

-- This tests that the following scenario won't happen:

-- client->server [request ] (2) triggered by (1)
-- server->client [notification] (3) triggered by (2)

-- server->client [request ] (5) triggered by (4)
-- client->server [response ] (6) response to (1)
--
-- If the above scenario ever happens, the client connection will be closed
-- because (6) is returned after request (5) is sent, and nvim
-- only deals with one server->client request at a time. (In other words,
-- the client cannot send a response to a request that is not at the top
-- of nvim's request stack).
--
-- But above scenario shoudn't happen by the way notifications are dealt in
-- Nvim: they are only sent after there are no pending server->client
-- request(the request stack fully unwinds). So (3) is only sent after the
-- client returns (6).
