Revamp of 'lua_pushfstring' / 'luaO_pushvfstring'

The function 'luaO_pushvfstring' now uses an internal buffer to
concatenate small strings, instead of pushing all pieces on the
stack. This avoids the creation of several small Lua strings for each
piece of the result. (For instance, a format like "n: '%d'" used to
create three intermediate strings: "n: '", the numeral, and "'".
Now it creates none.)
