Several tweaks in the garbage collector
...
- back with step size in collectgarbage("step")
- adjustments in defaults for some GC parameters
- adjustments in 'luaO_codeparam'

New option "setparms" for 'collectgarbage'
...
The generational mode also uses the parameters for the incremental
mode in its major collections, so it should be easy to change those
parameters without having to change the GC mode.

Cleaner protocol between 'lua_dump' and writer function
...
'lua_dump' signals to the writer function the end of a dump, so that
is has more freedom when using the stack.

A fixed buffer keeps a binary chunk "forever", so that the program

lua_settop/lua_pop closes to-be-closed variables
...
The existence of 'lua_closeslot' is no reason for lua_pop not to close
to-be-closed variables too. It is too error-prone for lua_pop not to
close tbc variables being popped from the stack.

'__close' methods can yield in the return of a C function
...
When, inside a coroutine, a C function with to-be-closed slots return,
the corresponding metamethods can yield. ('__close' metamethods called
through 'lua_closeslot' still cannot yield, as there is no continuation
to go when resuming.)

New API function 'lua_closeslot'

Closing a to-be-closed variable with 'lua_settop' is too restrictive,
as it erases all slots above the variable. Moreover, it adds side
effects to 'lua_settop', which should be a fairly basic function.
