Clearer distinction between types and tags
LUA_T* represents only types; tags (types + Variants) are represented
by LUA_V* constants.

New function 'setCstacklimit'
Added new functions to dynamically set the C-stack limit
('lua_setCstacklimit' in the C-API, 'debug.setCstacklimit' in Lua).

Added field 'srclen' to structure 'lua_Debug'
This new field gets the length of 'source' in the same structure.
Unlike the other strings in that structure, 'source' can be
relatively large, and Lua already has its length readily available.

Changes in the warning system
- The warning functions get an extra parameter that tells whether
message is to be continued (instead of using end-of-lines as a signal).
- The user data for the warning function is a regular value, instead
of a writable slot inside the Lua state.

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.

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...)

'lua_toclose' gets the index to be closed as an argument
Sometimes it is useful to mark to-be-closed an index that is not
at the top of the stack (e.g., if the value to be closed came from
a function call returning multiple values).

New syntax for to-be-closed variables
The new syntax is <local *toclose x = f()>. The mark '*' allows other
attributes to be added later without the need of new keywords; it
also allows better error messages. The API function was also renamed
('lua_tobeclosed' -> 'lua_toclose').

LUA_VERSION_RELEASE_NUM is set to the release number of the Lua
interpreter (e.g., 5.4.0 becomes the integer 50400).

revamping the incremental collector
Some simplifications (not counting bytes, couting only slots visited;
no more 'gcfinnum'); more GC parameters; using vararg in 'lua_gc' to
set parameters in different GC modes

'lua_rawlen' returns 'lua_Unsigned' instead of 'size_t'. (Real
length of strings and userdata are limited by Lua integers,
but table length is hard to compute limiting it to 'size_t'.)
