Drop call gates. Use function headers, dispatched like bytecodes.
Emit BC_FUNCF/BC_FUNCV bytecode at PC 0 for all Lua functions.
C functions and ASM fast functions get extra bytecodes.
Modify internal calling convention: new base in BASE (formerly in RA).
Can now use better C function wrapper semantics (dynamic on/off).
Prerequisite for call hooks with zero-overhead if disabled.
Prerequisite for compiling recursive calls.
Prerequisite for efficient 32/64 bit prototype guards.
Get number of multiple results from C frame.
Add lj_cont_hook: restores multres and dispatch to static ins.
Can use fastcall for lj_dispatch_ins() now.
Compile math.sinh(), math.cosh(), math.tanh() and math.random().
Compile various io.*() functions.
Drive the GC forward on string allocations in the parser.
Improve KNUM fuse vs. load heuristics.
Add abstract C call handling to IR.
