Roberto Ierusalimschy 63295f1f7f Fixed two bugs in to-be-closed variables x constants
The parser were mixing compiler indices of variables with stack indices,
so that when a to-be-closed variable was used inside the scope of
compile-time constants (which may be optimized away), it might be closed
in the wrong place. (See new tests for examples.)

Besides fixing the bugs, this commit also changed comments and variable
names to avoid that kind of confusion and added tests.

Roberto Ierusalimschy d6af81084d New kind of expression VKSTR
String literal expressions have their own kind VKSTR, instead of the
generic VK. This allows strings to "cross" functions without entering
their constant tables (e.g., if they are used only by some nested
function).

Roberto Ierusalimschy f6aab3ec1f First implementation of constant propagation
Local constant variables initialized with compile-time constants
are optimized away from the code.

Roberto Ierusalimschy 3d296304ef Towards constant propagation
This commit detaches the number of active variables from the
number of variables in the stack, during compilation. Soon,
compile-time constants will be propagated and therefore will
not exist during run time (in the stack).

Roberto Ierusalimschy 54f7b46c1e New implementation for constants
VLOCAL expressions keep a reference to their corresponding 'Vardesc',
and 'Upvaldesc' (for upvalues) has a field 'ro' (read-only). So, it is
easier to check whether a variable is read-only. The decoupling in
VLOCAL between 'vidx' ('Vardesc' index) and 'sidx' (stack index)
should also help the forthcoming implementation of compile-time
constant propagation.

Roberto Ierusalimschy e4b02ca8e4 Structure 'Vardesc' does not need a 'name' field
Removed the field 'name' from the structure 'Vardesc', as the name
of the local variable is already available in the prototype of the
function, through the index 'idx'.

Roberto Ierusalimschy d9f40e3f6f First implementation for 'const' variables
A variable can be declared const, which means it cannot be assigned to,
with the syntax 'local <const> name = exp'.

Roberto Ierusalimschy a006514ea1 Big revamp in the implmentation of labels/gotos
Added restriction that, when a label is created, there cannot be
another label with the same name visible. That allows backward goto's
to be resolved when they are read. Backward goto's get a close if
they jump out of the scope of some variable; labels get a close only
if previous goto to it jumps out of the scope of some upvalue.

Roberto Ierusalimschy 4cd1f4aac0 Towards "to closed" local variables
Start of the implementation of "scoped variables" or "to be closed"
variables, local variables whose '__close' (or themselves) are called
when they go out of scope. This commit implements the syntax, the
opcode, and the creation of the corresponding upvalue, but it still
does not call the finalizations when the variable goes out of scope
(the most important part).

Currently, the syntax is 'local scoped name = exp', but that will
probably change.

Roberto Ierusalimschy b42430fd3a 'lineinfo' in prototypes saved as differences instead of absolute
values, so that the array can use bytes instead of ints, reducing
its size. (A new array 'abslineinfo' is used when line differences
do not fit in a byte.)

Roberto Ierusalimschy 59bcd137ae reducing even more use of C stack by the parser: struct 'FuncState'
does not need field 'L' + number of labels/gotos in a chunk may be
limited to SHRT_MAX. (Also removed some non-needed 'unsigned's.)
