a08d82eb13 llimits.h being used by all Lua code
The definitions in llimits.h are useful not only for the core. That
header only defines types and '#define's, so libs and core still do
not share any real code/data.

edd8589f47 Avoid casts from unsigned long to floating-point
Old Microsoft compilers do not support those casts.

86e8039a72 Clock component removed from 'luaL_makeseed'

5a04f1851e New function 'luaL_makeseed'
This function unifies code from 'lua_newstate', 'math.randomseed',
and 'table.sort' that tries to create a value with a minimum level
of randomness.

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).

0ddc0f47bd Several details about 5.4.0 rc1
Corrected several small details: added 'const', adjusts in tabs x
spaces, removed unused #includes and #defines, misspellings, etc.

6eb53b7526 Details
Several details in code (e.g., moving a variable to the most inner
scope that encloses its uses), comments, parameter names, extra tests.

2d92102dee 'l_mathlim' renamed to 'l_floatatt'
That macro is applied to float attributes, not to limits.

b96b0b5abb Added macro 'luaL_pushfail'
The macro 'luaL_pushfail' documents all places in the standard libraries
that return nil to signal some kind of failure. It is defined as
'lua_pushnil'. The manual also got a notation (@fail) to document those
returns. The tests were changed to be agnostic regarding whether 'fail'
is 'nil' or 'false'.

4eefef07ab 'math.randomseed()' returns the seeds it used
A call to 'math.randomseed()' returns the two components of the seed
it set, so that they can be used to set that same seed again.

347d6961ac Define LUA_MAXUNSIGNED as a preprocessor constant
The previous definition of LUA_MAXUNSIGNED used a typecast,
making it unsuitable for constant expressions in the preprocessor.

279c3a6961 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.

9eca305e75 'math.randomseed()' sets a somewhat random seed
When called with no arguments, 'math.randomseed' uses time and ASLR
to generate a somewhat random seed. the initial seed when Lua starts
is generated this way.

51316f9df7 'math.rand()' uses higher bits to produce float value
The call 'math.rand()' converts the higher bits of the internal unsigned
integer random to a float, instead of its lower bits. That ensures that
Lua compiled with different float precisions always generates equal (up
to the available precision) random numbers when given the same seed.
