*toclose and custom stack traces

[nobody <nobody+lua-list@...>]

(Sometimes I like my stack traces to include _all_ local variables and
upvalues – many typos become obvious once you see the values as they are
when the error happened, this can be a _huge_ time saver!)

Previously, the way to guarantee that you can generate a custom stack
trace was to wrap your function as a coroutine, run that, and on error,
inspect the dead coroutine's preserved stack.  (xpcall doesn't work,
it's not always called – e.g. on memory allocation failure.)

On the current git HEAD, the *toclose support unwinds the stack of the
coroutine before it can be inspected.  (And the error behavior of
coroutines to return false, errormsg _without_ a stack trace is still
unchanged, so you have approximately zero information to work off when
debugging stuff that uses coroutines.)


How will debugging in 5.4 (roughly) work (once it's finished)?

(Based off my knowledge, the simplest thing would probably be to let 
xpcall call its error handler for _all_ errors (also gets rid of an 
occasional source of confusion), and maybe have an optional argument for 
`coroutine.create( function[, errorhandler] )` because otherwise the 
lowest stack level of most coroutines would be manually setting up an 
xpcall around its actual inner function…)
