Matěj Cepl 877d3b9bf7 Update to the final release of 5.5.0 ...

Overview of the main changes for this major version:
  - declarations for global variables
  - named vararg tables
  - for-loop variables are read only
  - floats are printed in decimal with enough digits to be read
    back correctly.
  - more levels for constructors
  - table.create
  - utf8.offset returns also final position of character
  - external strings (that use memory not managed by Lua)
  - new functions luaL_openselectedlibs and luaL_makeseed
  - major garbage collections done incrementally
  - more compact arrays (large arrays use about 60% less memory)
  - lua.c loads 'readline' dynamically
  - static (fixed) binaries (when loading a binary chunk in
    memory, Lua can reuse its original memory in some of the
    internal structures)
  - dump and undump reuse all strings
  - auxiliary buffer reuses buffer when it creates final string
