Subject: Added macro 'luaL_pushfail'

The macro 'luaL_pushfail' documents all places in the standard libraries
that return nil to signal some kind of failure. It is defined as
'lua_pushnil'. The manual also got a notation (@fail) to document those
returns. The tests were changed to be agnostic regarding whether 'fail'
is 'nil' or 'false'.
