'size_t' is the common type for measuring memory. 'int' can be too
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.

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'

'luaH_setint', but the latter was recoded to avoid extra overhead

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.

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.)
