* 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.)
New functions to reset/kill a thread/coroutine, mainly (only?) to
close any pending to-be-closed variable. ('lua_resetthread' also
allows a thread to be reused...)
As hinted in the manual for Lua 5.3, the emulation of the metamethod
for '__le' using '__le' has been deprecated. It is slow, complicates
the logic, and it is easy to avoid this emulation by defining a proper
'__le' function.
Moreover, often this emulation was used wrongly, with a programmer
assuming that an order is total when it is not (e.g., NaN in
floating-point numbers).
From the point of view of 'git', all names are relative to the root
directory of the project. So, file names in '$Id:' also should be
relative to that directory: the proper name for test file 'all.lua'
is 'testes/all.lua'.
