The computation of a new debt could overflow when we give a too large
step to 'collectgarbage"step"' and the current debt was already
negative. This is only an issue if your platform cares for it or if you
compile Lua with an option like '-fsanitize=undefined'.

typo in comment + formatting + logical 'and' was written as a bitwise
operation (makes code more fragile)

- LUAMOD_API defined as 'extern "C"' in C++.
- "ANSI C" is in fact "ISO C" (comments)
- Removed option -std from makefile in testes/libs. (Easier to change
to C++ for tests).
Added lock/unlock to API function 'lua_rawlen'2025-08-20T18:00:53+00:00Roberto Iroberto@inf.puc-rio.br2025-08-20T18:00:53+00:00urn:sha1:907d172c1114a2d61e85e1ca7aba50ef1fc4ffe3
The call to 'luaH_getn' can change the "field" 'lenhint' of a table.
Randomness added to table length computation2025-07-18T19:18:30+00:00Roberto Ierusalimschyroberto@inf.puc-rio.br2025-07-18T19:18:30+00:00urn:sha1:303f4155593721dfd57dadc6e56122e465ce9efb
A bad actor could fill only a few entries in a table (power of twos in
decreasing order, see tests) and produce a small table with a huge
length. If your program builds a table with external data and iterates
over its length, this behavior could be an issue.

Helps to ensure that 'luaO_pushvfstring' is being called correctly,
with an error check after closing the vararg list with 'va_end'.
