when atexit() handlers are processed
* Lua 5.2-style module:
* module() is no longer used to implement lanes.lua
* a global "lanes" variable is no longer created when the module is required
* the Lanes module table is returned instead
* Lanes must be initialized before used:
* the first occurence of 'require "lanes"' produces a minimal interface that only contains a configure() function
* the remainder of the interface is made available once this function is called
* subsequent calls to configure() do nothing
* configure() controls the number of keeper states and the startup of timers
* LuaJIT 2 compatibility
* non-Lua functions are no longer copied by creating a C closure from a C pointer, but through 2-way lookup tables
* this means that if a lane function body pulls non-Lua functions, the lane generator description must contain the list of libraries and modules that exports them
* introduces a change in configuration .globals management: contents are copied *after* std libs are loaded
* new .required configuration entry to list modules that must be require()'ed before lane body is transferred
* lane:cancel() wakes up waiting lindas like what is done at lane shutdown
