e2cc179454 New option "setparms" for 'collectgarbage'
The generational mode also uses the parameters for the incremental
mode in its major collections, so it should be easy to change those
parameters without having to change the GC mode.

5853c37a83 Bug: Buffer overflow in string concatenation
Even if the string fits in size_t, the whole size of the TString object
can overflow when we add the header.

ad0ea7813b GC parameters encoded as floating-point bytes
This encoding brings more precision and a larger range for these
parameters.

4eda1acafa Cleaner protocol between 'lua_dump' and writer function
'lua_dump' signals to the writer function the end of a dump, so that
is has more freedom when using the stack.

ad73b33224 Check minor->major made at the end of a minor cycle
It does not make sense to wait for another cycle to decide when much of
the information about creation of old objects is already available.

789e7acdea Major collections done incrementally
Major collections do not need to "stop the world". Still pending:
criteria for shifts minor-major, shifts generational-incremental.

74b4013538 Removed macro 'changeage'
It is simpler to use always 'setage'. The saving from 'changeage'
is too irrelevant.

A call to 'collectgarbage("step")' always performs one GC basic step.

842a83f09c Panic functions should not raise errors
The standard panic function was using 'lua_tostring', which may raise
a memory-allocation error if error value is a number.

as a C type and let C do part of the address computations.

25cd3d377e Buffer in 'luai_makeseed' measured in bytes
In the (rare) cases when sizeof(void*) or sizeof(time_t) are not
multiples of sizeof(int), we still can use all their bytes in the seed.

eabf425c76 Correct anchoring and GC barriers in 'loadString'
Call to 'luaH_setint' could call the GC with the string unanchored.
Moreover, previously saved strings were being assigned to the prototype
without a barrier.

19afd91687 Solving merge issue with use of tables in dump/undump
The use of tables in dump/undump to reuse strings did not exist in
the version that changed the representation of arrays, so it was not
corrected for the new API for tables.

7923dbbf72 Bug: Recursion in 'getobjname' can stack overflow
'getobjname' now broken in two, a basic version that handles locals,
upvalues, and constants, and a full version, which uses the basic
version to handle table accesses (globals and fields).

6b51133a98 Thread stacks resized in the atomic phase
Although stack resize can be a little expensive, it seems unusual to
have too many threads needing resize during one GC cycle. On the other
hand, the change allows full collections to skip the propagate phase,
going straight from a pause to the atomic phase.
