Simpler test in 'luaH_getint'

The test whether key is inside the array part of a table uses a bit
trick to avoid computing the real size of the array part.

** Search function for integers. If integer is inside 'alimit', get it
** directly from the array part. Otherwise, if 'alimit' is not equal to
** the real size of the array, key still can be in the array part. In
** this case, try to avoid a call to 'luaH_realasize' when key is just
** one more than the limit (so that it can be incremented without
** changing the real size of the array).
** directly from the array part. Otherwise, if 'alimit' is not
** the real size of the array, the key still can be in the array part.
** In this case, do the "Xmilia trick" to check whether 'key-1' is
** smaller than the real size.
** The trick works as follow: let 'p' be an integer such that
** '2^(p+1) >= alimit > 2^p', or '2^(p+1) > alimit-1 >= 2^p'.
** That is, 2^(p+1) is the real size of the array, and 'p' is the highest
** bit on in 'alimit-1'. What we have to check becomes 'key-1 < 2^(p+1)'.
** We compute '(key-1) & ~(alimit-1)', which we call 'res'; it will
** have the 'p' bit cleared. If the key is outside the array, that is,
** 'key-1 >= 2^(p+1)', then 'res' will have some bit on higher than 'p',
** therefore it will be larger or equal to 'alimit', and the check
** will fail. If 'key-1 < 2^(p+1)', then 'res' has no bit on higher than
** 'p', and as the bit 'p' itself was cleared, 'res' will be smaller
** than 2^p, therefore smaller than 'alimit', and the check succeeds.
** As special cases, when 'alimit' is 0 the condition is trivially false,
** and when 'alimit' is 1 the condition simplifies to 'key-1 < alimit'.
** If key is 0 or negative, 'res' will have its higher bit on, so that
** if cannot be smaller than alimit.
