The function 'string.gmatch' now has an optional 'init' argument,
similar to 'string.find' and 'string.match'. Moreover, there was
some reorganization in the manipulation of indices in the string
library.
This commit also includes small janitorial work in the manual
and in comments in the interpreter loop.

To-be-closed variables must contain objects with '__toclose'
metamethods (or nil). Functions were removed for several reasons:
* Functions interact badly with sandboxes. If a sandbox raises
an error to interrupt a script, a to-be-closed function still
can hijack control and continue running arbitrary sandboxed code.
* Functions interact badly with coroutines. If a coroutine yields
and is never resumed again, its to-be-closed functions will never
run. To-be-closed objects, on the other hand, will still be closed,
provided they have appropriate finalizers.
* If you really need a function, it is easy to create a dummy
object to run that function in its '__toclose' metamethod.
This comit also adds closing of variables in case of panic.

Errors in finalizers (__gc metamethods) are never propagated.
Instead, they generate a warning.

|
The warning system is just a way for Lua to emit warnings, messages
to the programmer that do not interfere with the running program.

* unification of the 'nny' and 'nCcalls' counters;
* external C functions ('lua_CFunction') count more "slots" in
the C stack (to allow for their possible use of buffers)
* added a new test script specific for C-stack overflows. (Most
of those tests were already present, but concentrating them
in a single script easies the task of checking whether
'LUAI_MAXCCALLS' is adequate in a system.)

Slightly better error message for invalid conversions in 'string.format'.
|
|
The script 'all', to run all tests, automatically ensures that the
Lua interpreter and the test C libraries (in 'testes/libs/') are
updated with any changes in 'luaconf.h'.
