Floats and %d

[Rena <hyperhacker@...>]

This is something I've been stubbing my toe on a lot lately and it's
rather annoying:

Lua 5.3.1  Copyright (C) 1994-2015 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
; print(string.format('%d', 1.1))
stdin:1: bad argument #2 to 'format' (number has no integer representation)
stack traceback:
    [C]: in function 'string.format'
    stdin:1: in main chunk
    [C]: in ?
;

In previous versions - and in C - it would just silently truncate the
number (drop the fractional part). Why was this changed?
