Idiomatic C API

["Soni \"They/Them\" L." <fakedme@...>]

Lua's C API is not idiomatic. I don't see setjmp/longjmp used by things 
like POSIX (as far as I know nothing in POSIX says you have to use 
setjmp/longjmp to handle errors) or libuv.

It would be more idiomatic to return error codes, and have the caller 
propagate errors. (Using setjmp/longjmp internally is fine tho.)

This would also increase compatibility with some libraries and 
programming languages.
