New function 'lua_numbertostrbuff'

It converts a Lua number to a string in a buffer, without creating
a new Lua string.

No errors in 'luaO_pushvfstring'
...
Any call to 'va_start' must have a corresponding call to 'va_end';
so, functions called between them (luaO_pushvfstring in particular)
cannot raise errors.

small for steps.

Explicit limit for number of results in a call

The parameter 'nresults' in 'lua_call' and similar functions has a
limit of 250. It already had an undocumented (and unchecked) limit of
SHRT_MAX, but it is seldom larger than 2.

'luaH_get' functions return tag of the result
...
Undoing previous commit. Returning TValue increases code size without
any visible gains. Returning the tag is a little simpler than returning
a special code (HOK/HNOTFOUND) and the tag is useful by itself in
some cases.

Instead of receiving a parameter telling them where to put the result
of the query, these functions return the TValue directly. (That is,
they return a structure.)

Better handling of size limit when resizing a table
...
Avoid silent conversions from int to unsigned int when calling
'luaH_resize'; avoid silent conversions from lua_Integer to int in
'table.create'; MAXASIZE corrected for the new implementation of arrays;
'luaH_resize' checks explicitly whether new size respects MAXASIZE.
(Even constructors were bypassing that check.)

Optimizations for 'lua_rawgeti' and 'lua_rawseti'

'lua_rawgeti' now uses "fast track"; 'lua_rawseti' still calls
'luaH_setint', but the latter was recoded to avoid extra overhead
when writing to the array part after 'alimit'.

Removed compatibility option LUA_COMPAT_GCPARAMS
...
The meaning of different GC parameters changed, so there is point in
supporting old values for them. The new code simply ignores the
parameters when changing the GC mode, so the incompatibility is small.

The generational mode also uses the parameters for the incremental
mode in its major collections, so it should be easy to change those
parameters without having to change the GC mode.

Towards a new implementation of arrays
...
The array part of a table wastes too much space, due to padding.
To avoid that, we need to store values in the array as something
different from a TValue. Therefore, the API for table access
should not assume that any value in a table lives in a *TValue.
This commit is the first step to remove that assumption: functions
luaH_get*, instead of returning a *TValue where the value lives,
receive a *TValue where to put the value being accessed.
(We still have to change the luaH_set* functions.)
