Explanation of borders in the manual
      The explanation includes the limit case of maxinteger being a border.
It also avoids the term "natural", which might include large floats
with natural values.

Added option LUA_NOBUILTIN
      This option allows external code to avoid the use of gcc builtin macro
'__builtin_expect' in the Lua API.

Optimization for 'n^2'
      Squares are much more common than other exponentiations, and 'n*n' is
much more efficient than 'pow'.

Merge branch 'master' of https://github.com/lua/lua
      Adding file README.md to local repository.

Fixed bug of long strings in binary chunks
      When "undumping" a long string, the function 'LoadVector' can call the
reader function, which can run the garbage collector, which can collect
the string being read. So, the string must be anchored during the call
to 'LoadVector'. (This commit also fixes the identation in 'l_alloc'.)

Details
      Added as incompatibility, in the manual, the extra return of 'io.lines'.
