9fa63a6268 Some 'unsigned int' changed to 'unsigned'
'unsigned int' is too long sometimes. (We already write 'long' instead
of 'long int'...)

0593256707 'luaH_get' functions return tag of the result
Undoing previous commit. Returning TValue increases code size without
any visible gains. Returning the tag is a little simpler than returning
a special code (HOK/HNOTFOUND) and the tag is useful by itself in
some cases.

ce6f5502c9 'luaH_get' functions return 'TValue'
Instead of receiving a parameter telling them where to put the result
of the query, these functions return the TValue directly. (That is,
they return a structure.)

ba71060381 Removed "bulk operations"
Negligible performance gains don't justify extra complexity.

3823fc6c81 Added "bulk operations" to arrays
A few operations on arrays can be performed "in bulk", treating all
tags of a cell as a simple (or a few) word(s).

d862da6d04 Optimizations for 'lua_rawgeti' and 'lua_rawseti'
'lua_rawgeti' now uses "fast track"; 'lua_rawseti' still calls
'luaH_setint', but the latter was recoded to avoid extra overhead
when writing to the array part after 'alimit'.

52b899d60d Simpler coding for new representation for arrays
With the tags comming first in a cell, we can define the whole cell
as a C type and let C do part of the address computations.

351ccd7332 Towards a new implementation of arrays
The array part of a table wastes too much space, due to padding.
To avoid that, we need to store values in the array as something
different from a TValue. Therefore, the API for table access
should not assume that any value in a table lives in a *TValue.
This commit is the first step to remove that assumption: functions
luaH_get*, instead of returning a *TValue where the value lives,
receive a *TValue where to put the value being accessed.
(We still have to change the luaH_set* functions.)

8047b2d03e Tables have a 'lastfree' information only when needed
Only tables with some minimum number of entries in their hash part
have a 'lastfree' field, kept in a header before the node vector.

23051e830a Changes in the API of 'luaH_set' and related functions
Functions to set values in a table (luaH_set, luaH_newkey, etc.) receive
the new value, instead of returning a slot where to put the value.

7c3cb71fa4 Free bit 7 of GC 'marked' field
Tables were using this bit to indicate their array sizes were real
('isrealasize'), but this bit can be useful for tests. Instead, they
can use bit 7 of their 'flag' field for that purpose. (There are only
six fast-access metamethods.) This 'flag' field only exists in tables,
so this use does not affect other types.

spaces, removed unused #includes and #defines, misspellings, etc.

allow the boundary-search algorithm to use 'maxinteger' when
it cannot find a good upper bound.
