c6f7181e91 No more LUA_ERRGCMM errors
Errors in finalizers (__gc metamethods) are never propagated.
Instead, they generate a warning.

437a5b07d4 Added a warning system to Lua
The warning system is just a way for Lua to emit warnings, messages
to the programmer that do not interfere with the running program.

ba7da13ec5 Changes in the control of C-stack overflow
* unification of the 'nny' and 'nCcalls' counters;
  * external C functions ('lua_CFunction') count more "slots" in
    the C stack (to allow for their possible use of buffers)
  * added a new test script specific for C-stack overflows. (Most
    of those tests were already present, but concentrating them
    in a single script easies the task of checking whether
    'LUAI_MAXCCALLS' is adequate in a system.)

fdc25a1ebf New functions 'lua_resetthread' and 'coroutine.kill'
New functions to reset/kill a thread/coroutine, mainly (only?) to
close any pending to-be-closed variable. ('lua_resetthread' also
allows a thread to be reused...)

e8c779736f Removed internal cache for closures
The mechanism of "caching the last closure created for a prototype to
try to reuse it the next time a closure for that prototype is created"
was removed. There are several reasons:

- It is hard to find a natural example where this cache has a measurable
impact on performance.

- Programmers already perceive closure creation as something slow,
so they tend to avoid it inside hot paths. (Any case where the cache
could reuse a closure can be rewritten predefining the closure in some
variable and using that variable.)

- The implementation was somewhat complex, due to a bad interaction
with the generational collector. (Typically, new closures are new,
while prototypes are old. So, the cache breaks the invariant that
old objects should not point to new ones.)

bd96330d03 First "complete" implementation of to-be-closed variables
Still missing:
- handling of memory errors when creating upvalue (must run closing
method all the same)
- interaction with coroutines

removed from all source files; only the file name are kept.

af70905246 no need to check whether libraries and host use the same kernel;
Lua should work correctly with several copies of the kernel

4dc0be950a new macro 'isLuacode' (to distinguish regular Lua code from
hooks, where C code can run inside a Lua function).

196c87c9ce no more 'stackless' implementation; 'luaV_execute' calls itself
recursively to execute function calls. 'unroll' continues all
executions suspended by an yield (through a long jump)
