413a393e62 Stack indices changed to union's
That will allow to change pointers to offsets while reallocating
the stack.

1fce5bea81 More uniform implementation for tail calls
'luaD_pretailcall' mimics 'luaD_precall', handling call metamethods
and calling C functions directly. That makes the code in the
interpreter loop simpler.

This commit also goes back to emulating the tail call in 'luaD_precall'
with a goto, as C compilers may not do proper tail calls and the C
stack can overflow much sooner than the Lua stack (which grows as the
metamethod is added to it).

41871f1803 Undo simplification of tail calls (commit 901d760)
Not that simpler and slower.

dbdc74dc55 Simplification in the parameters of 'luaD_precall'
The parameters 'nresults' and 'delta1', in 'luaD_precall', were never
meaningful simultaneously. So, they were combined in a single parameter
'retdel'.

901d760093 Simpler implementation for tail calls
Tail calls handled by 'luaD_precall', like regular calls, to avoid
code duplication.

59c88f846d 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).

7af27ef59d Cleaner handling of errors in '__close' metamethods
Instead of protecting each individual metamethod call, protect the
entire call to 'luaF_close'.

490d42b5f8 Correct handling of 'luaV_execute' invocations
The previous stackless implementations marked all 'luaV_execute'
invocations as fresh. However, re-entering 'luaV_execute' when
resuming a coroutine should not be a fresh invocation. (It works
because 'unroll' called 'luaV_execute' for each call entry, but
it was slower than letting 'luaV_execute' finish all non-fresh
invocations.)

5d8ce05b3f Back to a stackless implementation
A "with stack" implementation gains too little in performance to be
worth all the noise from C-stack overflows.

This commit is almost a sketch, to test performance. There are several
pending stuff:

- review control of C-stack overflow and error messages;
- what to do with setcstacklimit;
- review comments;
- review unroll of Lua calls.

eb41999461 Fixed bugs of stack reallocation x GC
Macro 'checkstackGC' was doing a GC step after resizing the stack;
the GC could shrink the stack and undo the resize. Moreover, macro
'checkstackp' also does a GC step, which could remove the preallocated
CallInfo when calling a function. (Its name has been changed to
'checkstackGCp' to emphasize that it calls the GC.)

bd96330d03 First "complete" implementation of to-be-closed variables
Still missing:
- handling of memory errors when creating upvalue (must run closing
method all the same)
- interaction with coroutines
