kernel: remove input stream stack

Instead of pre-allocating a fixed number of TypInputFile instances on each
thread, we allocate the required storage dynamically on the stack. This
arguably makes it easier to reason about the global state of GAP.

It also enables future simplifications and improvements, e.g. further
decoupling the input file code from the line buffering and potential
optimizations resulting from that.
