Back to a stackless implementation

A "with stack" implementation gains too little in performance to be
worth all the noise from C-stack overflows.

This commit is almost a sketch, to test performance. There are several
pending stuff:

- review control of C-stack overflow and error messages;
- what to do with setcstacklimit;
- review comments;
- review unroll of Lua calls.
