Print errors from __gc finalizers instead of rethrowing them.

Finalizers are not supposed to throw errors -- this is undefined behavior.
Lua 5.1 - 5.3 and (previously) LuaJIT rethrow the error. This randomly
breaks some unrelated code that just happens to do an allocation. Bad.
Lua 5.4 catches the error and emits a warning instead. But warnings are
not enabled by default, so it fails silently. Even worse.
LuaJIT (now) catches the error and emits a VM event. The default event
handler function prints "ERROR in finalizer: ...".
Set a custom handler function with: jit.attach(handler, "errfin")
