tstarling cebe775ee8 Added more Lua environment features
Package library:

* Added a simulation of the Lua 5.1 package library.
* Removed mw.import(), replaced it with a package loader. Packages can be
  retrieved from the wiki, using require('Module:Foo'), or from files
  distributed with Scribunto, using require('foo'). The "Module:" prefix allows
  for source compatibility with existing Lua code.
* Added a couple of libraries from LuaForge: luabit and stringtools.
* Made fetchModuleFromParser() return null on error instead of throwing an
  exception, to more easily support the desired behaviour of the package loader,
  which needs to return null on error.
* Renamed mw.setupEnvironment() to mw.setup() since it is setting up things
  other than the environment now.
* In MWServer:handleRegisterLibrary(), remove the feature which interprets dots
  in library names, since LuaSandbox doesn't support this.

Improved module isolation and related refactoring:

* Expose restricted versions of getfenv() and setfenv() to user Lua code.
  Requires luasandbox r114952.
* Don't cache the export list returned by module execution for later function
  calls. This breaks isolation of #invoke calls, since the local variables are
  persistent.
* Removed ScribuntoFunctionBase and its children, since it doesn't really have
  a purpose if it can't cache anything. Instead, invoke functions using a module
  method called invoke().
* Removed Module::initialize(), replaced it with a validate() function. This is
  a more elegant interface and works better with the new module caching scheme.
* Use a Status object for the return value of Engine::validate() instead of an
  array. Use the formatting facilities of the Status class.

Other:

* Removed "too many returns" error, doesn't fit in with Lua conventions.
* Use the standalone engine by default, so that the extension will work without
  configuration for more people.
* Added an accessor for $engine->interpreter
* Fix mw.clone() to correctly clone metatables
* If the standalone interpreter exits due to an error, there are some contexts
  where the initial error will be caught and ignored, and the user will see the
  error from checkValid() instead. In this case, rethrow the original error for
  a more informative message.
* Load mw.lua into the initial standalone environment, to reduce code
  duplication between mw.lua and MWServer.lua.
* Fixed a bug in Scribunto_LuaStandaloneInterpreter::handleCall() for functions
  that return no results.
* Fixed a bug in encodeLuaVar() for strings with "\r". Added test case.
* In MWServer.lua, don't call error() for internal errors, instead just print
  the error and exit. This avoids a protocol violation when an error is
  encountered from within handleCall().
* Added lots of documentation. Lua doc comments are in LuaDoc format.

tstarling b0f00103e2 Added tests and fixed bugs
* Added unit tests for the two Lua interpreter classes
* Fixed a bug in checkType()
* Have Scribunto_LuaSandboxInterpreter throw an exception on construct
  when the extension doesn't exist, to match the standalone behaviour.
* In Scribunto_LuaSandboxInterpreter, removed debugging statements
  accidentally left in.
* Convert LuaSandboxTimeoutError to the appropriate common error
  message.
* Moved the option munging from the sandbox engine to the interpreter,
  so that the interpreter can be unit tested separately.
* Use /bin/sh instead of bash for lua_ulimit.sh, since dash is smaller
  and still supports ulimit.
* Use exec to run the lua binary, so that the vsize of the shell doesn't
  add to the memory limit.
* Added a quit function to the standalone interpreter. Unused at present.
* Don't add a comma after the last element of a table in a Lua
  expression.
* Make the SIGXCPU detection work: proc_open() runs the command via a
  shell, which reports signals in the child via the exit status, so
  proc_get_status() will never return a valid termsig element.
* In MWServer:call(), fixed a bug causing the return values to be
  wrapped in an array.
* Fixed a misunderstanding of what select() does.
* In MWServer:getStatus(), fixed indexes so that vsize will be correct.
  Removed RSS, since it wasn't used anyway and turns out to be measured
  in multiples of the page size, and I couldn't be bothered trying to
  fetch that from getconf. Return the PID and vsize as numbers rather
  than strings.
* Added a simple table dump feature to MWServer:debug().
* Fixed brackets in MWServer:tostring().
* Added missing Linux 32-bit binary.
