The `zfs program` subcommand invokes a LUA interpreter to run ZFS
"channel programs". This interpreter runs in a constrained environment,
with defined memory limits. The LUA stack (used for LUA functions that
call each other) is allocated in the kernel's heap, and is limited by
the `-m MEMORY-LIMIT` flag and the `zfs_lua_max_memlimit` module
parameter. The C stack is used by certain LUA features that are
implemented in C. The C stack is limited by `LUAI_MAXCCALLS=20`, which
limits call depth.
Some LUA C calls use more stack space than others, and `gsub()` uses an
unusually large amount. With a programming trick, it can be invoked
recursively using the C stack (rather than the LUA stack). This
overflows the 16KB Linux kernel stack after about 11 iterations, less
than the limit of 20.
One solution would be to decrease `LUAI_MAXCCALLS`. This could be made
to work, but it has a few drawbacks:
1. The existing test suite does not pass with `LUAI_MAXCCALLS=10`.
2. There may be other LUA functions that use a lot of stack space, and
the stack space may change depending on compiler version and options.
This commit addresses the problem by adding a new limit on the amount of
free space (in bytes) remaining on the C stack while running the LUA
interpreter: `LUAI_MINCSTACK=4096`. If there is less than this amount
of stack space remaining, a LUA runtime error is generated.

Porting Notes:
* The CLI long option arguments for '-t' and '-m' don't parse on linux
* Switched from kmem_alloc to vmem_alloc in zcp_lua_alloc
* Lua implementation is built as its own module (zlua.ko)
* Lua headers consumed directly by zfs code moved to 'include/sys/lua/'
* There is no native setjmp/longjump available in stock Linux kernel.
Brought over implementations from illumos and FreeBSD
* The get_temporary_prop() was adapted due to VFS platform differences
* Use of inline functions in lua parser to reduce stack usage per C call
* Skip some ZFS Test Suite ZCP tests on sparc64 to avoid stack overflow
