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.)

4cd1f4aac0 Towards "to closed" local variables
Start of the implementation of "scoped variables" or "to be closed"
variables, local variables whose '__close' (or themselves) are called
when they go out of scope. This commit implements the syntax, the
opcode, and the creation of the corresponding upvalue, but it still
does not call the finalizations when the variable goes out of scope
(the most important part).

Currently, the syntax is 'local scoped name = exp', but that will
probably change.

b42430fd3a 'lineinfo' in prototypes saved as differences instead of absolute
values, so that the array can use bytes instead of ints, reducing
its size. (A new array 'abslineinfo' is used when line differences
do not fit in a byte.)

73ec04fcf3 no more 'DEADKEY'. Table traversals do not need to consider dead keys;
if the key is dead, it cannot be given to 'next'. Instead, we now
use a 'table' tag without the collectable bit, which makes it
a unique tag good enough to reserve space.

5a9cc57a5e change in GCObject: instead of being a union, it is now a structure
with the common header of all collectable objects; union is used
only for conversions. (Goal is to be able to check that the cast
'obj2gco' can have a check to ensure that object being converted
is really a collectable object.). This is the first step in the
change.
