Detail in 'lua_resetthread'
...
'lua_resetthread' should reset the CallInfo list before calling
'luaF_close'. luaF_close can call functions, and those functions
should not run with dead functions still in the CallInfo list.

New threads were being created with very small C-stack limits.
This is not a problem for coroutines, because 'lua_resume' sets
a new limit, but not all threads are coroutines.

Small changes around C-stack limit
...
- Better documentation in 'testes/cstack.lua' about using
'debug.setCstacklimit' to find a good limit.
- Constant LUAI_MAXCSTACK gets added CSTACKERR (extra stack for
error handling), so that it is compatible with the argument to
'debug.setCstacklimit'.

Fixed bug with to-be-closed variables in base C level
...
To-be-closed variables in C use 'ci.nresults' to code that there is
a variable to be closed in that function. The intialization of the
base C level (the one "running" when calling API functions outside
any Lua call) did not initialize 'ci.nresults', creating (correct)
warnings in valgrind.

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.

Changes in the warning system

message is to be continued (instead of using end-of-lines as a signal).
- The user data for the warning function is a regular value, instead
of a writable slot inside the Lua state.

next collection will be major again. In that case, avoid switching

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.)

Removed internal cache for closures
...
The mechanism of "caching the last closure created for a prototype to
try to reuse it the next time a closure for that prototype is created"
was removed. There are several reasons:
- It is hard to find a natural example where this cache has a measurable
impact on performance.
- Programmers already perceive closure creation as something slow,
so they tend to avoid it inside hot paths. (Any case where the cache
could reuse a closure can be rewritten predefining the closure in some
variable and using that variable.)
- The implementation was somewhat complex, due to a bad interaction
with the generational collector. (Typically, new closures are new,
while prototypes are old. So, the cache breaks the invariant that
old objects should not point to new ones.)
