Rewrite portal removal to avoid stack overflow

This solves a problem were nether portal removal would trigger deep
recursion through node callbacks.  For large portals this could result
in stack overflow crashes on LuaJIT.  The issue is solved by rewriting
the portal removal to avoid recursion and removing the portal in one
operation using minetest.bulk_set_node.
