Using 'inline' in some functions
...
According to ISO C, "making a function an inline function suggests that
calls to the function be as fast as possible." (Not available in C89.)

Broadening the use of branch hints
...
More uses of macros 'likely'/'unlikely' (renamed to
'l_likely'/'l_unlikely'), both in range (extended to the
libraries) and in scope (extended to hooks, stack growth).

Optimization for 'n^2'
...
Squares are much more common than other exponentiations, and 'n*n' is
much more efficient than 'pow'.

A few changes in tests about number of bits in integers
...
- The preprocessor must work with at least 'long', and therefore must
do shifts of up to 31 bits correctly.
- Whenever possible, use unsigned types in shifts.

Avoid the creation of too many strings in 'package'
...
Both when setting a path and searching for a file ('searchpath'),
this commit reduces the number of intermediate strings created
in Lua.
(For setting a path the change is not relevant, because this is
done only twice when loading the module. Anyway, it is a nice example
of how to use auxlib buffers to manipulate strings in the C API.)

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.

LUAI_MAXCCALLS renamed LUAI_MAXCSTACK
...
The limit LUAI_MAXCCALLS was renamed LUAI_MAXCSTACK, which better
represents its meaning. Moreover, its definition was moved to
'luaconf.h', given its importance now that Lua does not use
a "stackless" implementation.

Keep correct type for immediate operands in comparisons
...
When calling metamethods for things like 'a < 3.0', which generates
the opcode OP_LTI, the C register tells that the operand was
converted to an integer, so that it can be corrected to float when
calling a metamethod.
This commit also includes some other stuff:
- file 'onelua.c' added to the project
- opcode OP_PREPVARARG renamed to OP_VARARGPREP
- comparison opcodes rewritten through macros

Changes in the control of C-stack overflow
...
* unification of the 'nny' and 'nCcalls' counters;
* external C functions ('lua_CFunction') count more "slots" in
the C stack (to allow for their possible use of buffers)
* added a new test script specific for C-stack overflows. (Most
of those tests were already present, but concentrating them
in a single script easies the task of checking whether
'LUAI_MAXCCALLS' is adequate in a system.)

Corrections in the implementation of '%' for floats.
...
The multiplication (m*b) used to test whether 'm' is non-zero and
'm' and 'b' have different signs can underflow for very small numbers,
giving a wrong result. The use of explicit comparisons solves this
problem. This commit also adds several new tests for '%' (both for
floats and for integers) to exercise more corner cases, such as
very large and very small values.
