Aurelien DARRAGON 9e9083d0e2 BUG/MEDIUM: hlua: fix invalid lua_pcall() usage in hlua_traceback()
Since commit 365ee28 ("BUG/MINOR: hlua: prevent LJMP in hlua_traceback()")
we now use lua_pcall() to protect sensitive parts of hlua_traceback()
function, and this to prevent Lua from crashing the process in case of
unexpected Lua error.

This is still relevant, but an error was made, as lua_pcall() was given
the nresult argument '1' when _hlua_traceback() internal function
doesn't push any argument on the stack. Because of this, it seems Lua
API still tries to push garbage object on top of the stack before
returning. This may cause functions that leverage hlua_traceback() in
the middle of stack manipulation to end up having a corrupted stack when
continuing after the hlua_traceback().

There doesn't seem to be many places where this could be a problem, as
this was discovered using the reproducer documented in f535d3e
("BUG/MEDIUM: debug: only dump Lua state when panicking"). Indeed, when
hlua_traceback() was used from the signal handler while the thread was
previously executing Lua, when returning to Lua after the handler the
Lua stack would be corrupted.

To fix the issue, we emphasize on the fact that the _hlua_traceback()
function doesn't push anything on the stack, returns 0, thus lua_pcall()
is given 0 'nresult' argument to prevent anything from being pushed after
the execution, preserving the original stack state.

This should be backported to all stable versions (because 365ee28 was
backported there)
