Turn potential malicious-crafted code crashes into normal Lua errors

* bump version to 3.8.1
* new function lane:get_debug_threadname()
* Fix invalid memory accesses when fetching the name of a joined lane
with lanes:threads() (because its lua_State is closed)
* use luaL_newmetatable() to create the metatable for lane objects
* prevent malicious code from crashing by calling lane methods without
passing the lane as first argument (raise an error instead)
* set_debug_threadname() is no longer registered in the function lookup
databases because it holds a C pointer as upvalue and it might crash if
used maliciously
