Default MaxDepth is 10,000 to match the existing maxDepth constant added in #410

ConfigCompatibleWithStandardLibrary retains unlimited depth (via -1), until golang/go#31789 has been decided (it got dropped from the 1.14 milestone)

Adds MaxDepth config option
d296277 
Defaults to 10,000 to match the existing maxDepth constant everywhetre, except when using `ConfigCompatibleWithStandardLibrary` - which retains the limitless depth (and causes a stack overflow). Added tests for the new config, and also up to jsoniter's stack overflow limit.

"Compatible with the standard library" in this case means "vulnerable to stack overflow". I would strongly recommend this not be configurable and default safe. golang/go#31789 is targeting go1.15

Making this configurable, and making a widely used default config setting unsafe means all transitive consumers of this library (caller -> library they don't control -> json-iterator) are exposed to stack overflows once again. I would strongly recommend this be reverted before tagging a release

@liggitt I am unable to understand why you guys reverted the changes of this PR.

Given that you guys were making it configurable with a default value of 10k, how is this going to expose the caller to stack overflow issue, unless they have explicitly configured it to some value greater than 10k?

NOTE: The reason I am raising this point is, we at rudderstack are using this library and time and again it happens with us that we try decoding some payload that we received & end up getting OOM killed even though we have a limit of the payload size. But, since depth of the payload also has a role in it, which we can't control. We kind of feel helpless in avoiding the OOM kill issue. If I am unaware of any existing way to avoid this issue, then please do let me know. It would be a great help.

Thanks!
