[ANN] Emergency GC patch release 5 for Lua 5.1.4

["Robert G. Jakabosky" <bobby@...>]

The Emergency GC patch makes it safe to call the Lua garbage collector after a 
memory allocation has failed.  This allows the garbage collector to free some 
memory so that the failed allocation can be retried.  The patch also add 
support for setting a limit on how much memory Lua scripts can allocate.

This new release include the sweep strings fix (i.e. to fix the bug with 
loading large script files).
Also a new compile option LUA_STRESS_EMERGENCY_GC has been add to luaconf.h to 
enable stress testing of the Emergency GC.
