bb7bb5944c More disciplined use of 'errno'
Set errno to zero before calling any function where we may use its
errno, and check errno for zero before using it (as functions may not
set it even in error). The code assumes that no function will put
garbage on errno (although ISO C allows that): If any function during an
operation set errno, and the operation result in an error, assume that
errno has something to say.

94b503d95e Encoding of table indices (hres) must use C indices
As the encoding of array indices is (~index), 0 is encoded as -1 and
INT_MAX is encoded as INT_MIN.

0897c0a428 'getmode' renamed to 'getMode'
The name 'getmode' conficts with a function from BSD, defined
in <unistd.h>. Although 'lbaselib.c' cannot include that header,
'onelua.c' can.

5edacafcfa Yet another representation for arrays
This "linear" representation (see ltable.h for details) has worse
locality than cells, but the simpler access code seems to compensate
that.

3507c3380f Small simplification in 'findloader'
Instead of allways adding a prefix for the next message, and then
removing it if there is no message, add the prefix after each message.

9fa63a6268 Some 'unsigned int' changed to 'unsigned'
'unsigned int' is too long sometimes. (We already write 'long' instead
of 'long int'...)

0593256707 'luaH_get' functions return tag of the result
Undoing previous commit. Returning TValue increases code size without
any visible gains. Returning the tag is a little simpler than returning
a special code (HOK/HNOTFOUND) and the tag is useful by itself in
some cases.

ce6f5502c9 'luaH_get' functions return 'TValue'
Instead of receiving a parameter telling them where to put the result
of the query, these functions return the TValue directly. (That is,
they return a structure.)

cc2b66c856 Removed type 'varint_t'
size_t should be big enough to count the number of strings in a dump.
(And, by definition, it is big enough to count the length of each
string.)

c8121ce34b Revising code for Varint encoding in dumps
- Usign lua_Unsigned to count strings.
- Varint uses a type large enough both for size_t and lua_Unsigned.
- Most-Significant Bit 0 means last byte, to conform to common usage.
- (unrelated) Change in macro 'getaddr' so that multiplication is
  by constants.

0c9bec0d38 Better handling of size limit when resizing a table
Avoid silent conversions from int to unsigned int when calling
'luaH_resize'; avoid silent conversions from lua_Integer to int in
'table.create'; MAXASIZE corrected for the new implementation of arrays;
'luaH_resize' checks explicitly whether new size respects MAXASIZE.
(Even constructors were bypassing that check.)

b34a97a4af Small optimization in 'luaH_psetint'
It is quite common to write to empty but existing cells in the array
part of a table, so 'luaH_psetint' checks for the common case that
the table doesn't have a newindex metamethod to complete the write.

d862da6d04 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'.

e288c5a918 Bug: Yielding in a hook stops in the wrong instruction
Yielding in a hook must decrease the program counter, because it already
counted an instruction that, in the end, was not executed. However,
that decrement should be done only when about to restart the thread.
Otherwise, inspecting the thread with the debug library shows it one
instruction behind of where it really is.

e81f586001 Removed compatibility option LUA_COMPAT_GCPARAMS
The meaning of different GC parameters changed, so there is point in
supporting old values for them. The new code simply ignores the
parameters when changing the GC mode, so the incompatibility is small.

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.
