be8445d7e4 Details
In the generic for loop, it is simpler for OP_TFORLOOP to use the
same 'ra' as OP_TFORCALL. Moreover, the internal names of the loop
temporaries "(for ...)" don't need to leak internal details (even
because the numerical for loop doesn't have a fixed role for each of
its temporaries).

d9f40e3f6f First implementation for 'const' variables
A variable can be declared const, which means it cannot be assigned to,
with the syntax 'local <const> name = exp'.

d881325c2f Flag for to-be-closed variables changed to '<toclose>'
The flag for to-be-closed variables was changed from '*toclose'
to '<toclose>'. Several people found confusing the old syntax and
the new one has a clear terminator, making it more flexible for
future changes.

20b161e285 Small correction in test about 'isdst'
The field 'isdst' can be false, so we cannot test its absence with
'if not D.isdst'; we must compare with nil for a correct test.

0f028b9008 Corrected tests around non-portable 'isdst' in dates
The field 'isdst' in date tables may not be present; portable tests
should not assume it is.

7f6f70853c To-be-closed variable in 'for' loop separated from the state
The variable to be closed in a generic 'for' loop now is the
4th value produced in the loop initialization, instead of being
the loop state (the 2nd value produced). That allows a loop to
use a state with a '__toclose' metamethod but do not close it.
(As an example, 'f:lines()' might use the file 'f' as a state
for the loop, but it should not close the file when the loop ends.)

b8fed93215 New syntax for to-be-closed variables
The new syntax is <local *toclose x = f()>. The mark '*' allows other
attributes to be added later without the need of new keywords; it
also allows better error messages.  The API function was also renamed
('lua_tobeclosed' -> 'lua_toclose').

947a372f58 State in generic 'for' acts as a to-be-closed variable
The implicit variable 'state' in a generic 'for' is marked as a
to-be-closed variable, so that the state will be closed as soon
as the loop ends, no matter how.

Taking advantage of this new facility, the call 'io.lines(filename)'
now returns the open file as a second result. Therefore,
an iteraction like 'for l in io.lines(name)...' will close the
file even when the loop ends with a break or an error.

aa4c5cf190 Added directory to test file names in '$Id:'
From the point of view of 'git', all names are relative to the root
directory of the project. So, file names in '$Id:' also should be
relative to that directory: the proper name for test file 'all.lua'
is 'testes/all.lua'.
