rBc6e7fc97443e: Fix: Large stack allocation in compositor

Summary

DebugInfo::graphviz uses a char[1000000] as local variable.
When this function is called this is allocated on the stack,
which has a size of just 1MB on mac and may cause a stack
overflow.

This patch allocates the memory on the heap and frees the memory
at the end of the function.

435	`sizeof` is not going to work with a dynamically allocated array so this needs addressed.

Use a constant for the maximum text length to pass in the correct maxlen parameter into DebugInfo::graphviz_system(const ExecutionSystem *system, char *str, int maxlen).

Thank you @Jesse Yurkovich (deadpin) for catching my mistake!

For the reasons outlined here this can't be a fix for T94230, however this is still a good fix to have.
