Added "bulk operations" to arrays
...
A few operations on arrays can be performed "in bulk", treating all
tags of a cell as a simple (or a few) word(s).

Optimizations for 'lua_rawgeti' and 'lua_rawseti'
...
'lua_rawgeti' now uses "fast track"; 'lua_rawseti' still calls
'luaH_setint', but the latter was recoded to avoid extra overhead
when writing to the array part after 'alimit'.

Simpler coding for new representation for arrays

With the tags comming first in a cell, we can define the whole cell
as a C type and let C do part of the address computations.

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.)

Tables have a 'lastfree' information only when needed

Only tables with some minimum number of entries in their hash part
have a 'lastfree' field, kept in a header before the node vector.

Changes in the API of 'luaH_set' and related functions

the new value, instead of returning a slot where to put the value.

Free bit 7 of GC 'marked' field
...
Tables were using this bit to indicate their array sizes were real
('isrealasize'), but this bit can be useful for tests. Instead, they
can use bit 7 of their 'flag' field for that purpose. (There are only
six fast-access metamethods.) This 'flag' field only exists in tables,
so this use does not affect other types.
