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

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.

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.)

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...)

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.)

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
