Change in the handling of 'L->top' when calling metamethods

Instead of updating 'L->top' in every place that may call a
metamethod, the metamethod functions themselves (luaT_trybinTM and
luaT_callorderTM) correct the top. (When calling metamethods from
the C API, however, the callers must preserve 'L->top'.)
