* Space Lua: Align numeric and table semantics with Lua

This change improves Space Lua compatibility with standard Lua 5.4,
focusing on numeric subtypes and table behavior. The test suite is
extended to lock in the expected semantics and should pass under both
Space Lua and a Lua interpreter.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES
------------------

Tighten Lua compatibility across evaluator and runtime:

- correct metamethod dispatch (`__index`, `__newindex`, `__call`,
  comparison metamethods),

- loop limits,

- raw metamethod lookups.

Rework numeric semantics to preserve Lua **integer** vs **float**
behavior:

- $0$ vs $0.0$ and $-0.0$,

- explicit zero kind representation, and

- updates arithmetic/bitwise coercions accordingly.

Improve parser correctness by rejecting **unary plus** with aligned Lua
errors and better parsing errors reporting.

Fix `stdlib` behavior to match that of Lua:

- `table` function `concat`, `insert`, `remove`, `sort` and `unpack`
  gain metamethod awareness and enforce Lua errors,

- `ipairs` iteration updated to stop on first nil and honor `__index`,

- `tonumber` updated to Luae conversion using `luaToNumberDetailed`,

- `math.modf` return corrected,

- `math.type` accuracy improvements for float/integer and $-0.0$,

- `math.pi` added.

Fix numeric subtypes for `/` and `^` operators so `math.type` matches
Lua results using tagging as well as unary `-`.

Expand test coverage:

- new `metamethods_test.lua` for Lua metamethod/operator semantics,

- extend arithmetic and length tests for zero-kind propagation and
  `rawlen` vs `__len` metamethod,

- Extend `math` test suite to test proper Lua alignment (`math.type` and
  more), and

- update context error expectations for Lua error messages.

RATIONALE
---------

Lua differs from JavaScript by having two numeric subtypes: **integer**
and **float**. Operators depend on the subtype: `+`, `-`, `*`, `//` and
`%` use integer mode when both operands are integers and float mode
otherwise. Bitwise operators require integers and `math.type(x)` reports
"integer" or "float". JavaScript has one numeric primitive type
(`number`) so a plain number value cannot record whether Lua considers
a value to be a float when the value has no fractional part (for example
$2.0$).

Lua also differs from "everything is IEEE 754 double" because the rules
are defined in terms of integer and float subtypes. Float operations
preserve IEEE 754 behavior including `NaN`, infinities and signed zero
($-0.0$) which affects results like $1/0.0$ versus $1/-0.0$. Integer
arithmetic does not preserve $-0$ and collapses it to $0$. Lua integer
arithmetic is exact within its integer range while JavaScript `number`
cannot exactly represent all integers in that range.

Lua numbers are integers or floats. Numeric strings coerce to integer or
float based on _lexical_ form. Each arithmetic operator selects the
result subtype from the operator rules and operand subtypes.  Integer
only operators (bitwise and `//` as integer division) require integer
representability. Mixed arithmetic promotes to float as needed.  Two
operators are **always float** typed: division (`/`) and exponentiation
(`^`) produce floats even if both operands are integers and even if the
numeric value has no fractional part. `math.type` reports that internal
subtype.

Tables are associative arrays and assigning `nil` removes a key. The
length operator `#` uses `__len` metamethod if present otherwise it uses
the raw length rule. `rawlen(table)` ignores `__len`. Without `__len`
Lua defines `#` as some boundary `N` such that `table[N]` is not `nil`
and `table[N+1]` is `nil`. If the table has holes (missing or `nil`
entries in the positive integer key sequence) the boundary may be non
unique so `#` is stable only for proper sequences without holes.

PERFORMANCE NOTES
-----------------

Numeric changes add small checks to preserve Lua integer and float
subtype semantics and avoid allocations except when the subtype would
otherwise be lost.

Some table operations may be slower due to stricter Lua 5.4 behavior
especially around length and sequence boundary handling which currently
requires extra metadata tracking and scans and cannot be avoided without
a completely different internal table representation.

* Another try

* Replace `LuaFloatTag` plain objects with boxed Number for float tagging

* Restore pre-merge eval/numeric architecture and fix regressions

This commit restores the original branch architecture.

On top of the restored foundation, float-typed integer results (e.g.
`1.0 + 1.0` = `2.0`, `0.0 // 1.0` = `0.0`) are now correctly tagged via
`makeLuaFloat` so that `tostring` and `math.type` report them as floats.
The *unary minus* fast path for float literals and the `tonumber`
function also preserve float tagging.

Performance regressions from the merge are addressed by avoiding
`Number` boxing for non-integer floats (`3.14` needs no tag — it is
unambiguously float), adding *string key* fast paths in `LuaTable`
`has`/`rawGet`/`rawSet` to skip numeric normalization for the dominant
case, and inlining a `typeof` check in math standard library functions
to avoid function call overhead on plain numbers.

* Replace boxed `Number` float tagging with plain tagged objects

* Replace `new Number()` boxing with plain tagged float objects for Lua
  float type tracking.

* Integer-valued floats that need type disambiguation are now
  represented as `{ value: number, isFloat: true }` instead of boxed
  `Number` objects with a symbol property.

* Pre-allocated singletons are used for positive and negative float
  zeros to avoid allocation entirely in common cases.

* Updated all detection, unwrapping, and coercion paths across
  `numeric.ts`, `runtime.ts`, `eval.ts`, `stdlib.ts`, and `stdlib/`
  modules to use the new `isTaggedFloat` type guard.

* Removed all `instanceof Number` checks.

* Deleted the `FloatKind` symbol and eliminated redundant helpers
  `isLuaFloat`, `isFloatTag`, `getZeroBoxKind` and `toPlainNumber` that
  became dead code.

* Simplified `math.type`, `luaToString`, `luaEquals`, `luaTypeName` and
  various other key normalization paths.

* [Space Lua] Reuse loop variable environment in `for` and `for-in` loops

Numeric `for` and generic `for-in` loops allocated a fresh `LuaEnv` on
every iteration to hold loop variables. But this is only necessary when
a closure inside the loop body captures the loop variable.

The optimization uses a two-level check computed at parse time. If no
function definition exists in the loop's subtree, environment reuse is
safe. When a function definition is present a deeper analysis walks the
block to determine whether any function body references the loop
variable names without them being shadowed by its own parameters. When
a closure captures a loop variable the loop fall back to per-iteration
allocation.

* [Space Lua] Format numbers using standard Lua rules

Standard Lua formats floats via C `sprintf("%.14g")` (14 significant
digits, scientific notation when shorter, exponent padded to 2 digits,
and a guaranteed `.0` suffix for integer-valued floats).

* Replace the old `luaFormatNumber` with JS `toPrecision(14)`-based
  implementation that reproduces this behavior.

* Integrates it so that `${}` expressions in the UI also display
  numbers correctly.

* Fixes tagged floats (`{ value, isFloat }`) were being stripped by
  `luaValueToJS` or matched as plain objects before reaching the number
  formatter. This caused `${}` expressions to render raw JS numbers.

Examples:

```
- ${tostring(2^63)}
- ${2^63}
- ${(2^63)}
```

All of the the above examples show correct `9.2233720368548e+18` now.

* [Space Lua] Fix `string.format` for floats and tagged numbers

Unwrap tagged floats before `printf`, handle `inf`/`-inf`/`-nan` in
`formatDouble`, and fix `%g` producing `0e+00` for zero. Hopefuly it's
enough to gain Lua formatting.

Tests:

```
- ${string.format("%.14g", 0.0)} - `0`
- ${string.format("%.14g", 1.0)} - `1`
- ${string.format("%.14g", 1/3)} - `0.33333333333333`
- ${string.format("%.14g", math.pi)} - `3.1415926535898`
- ${string.format("%.14g", 1e-10)} - `1e-10`
- ${string.format("%.14g", 1e18)} - `1e+18`
- ${string.format("%.14g", 2^63)} - `9.2233720368548e+18`
- ${string.format("%.14g", 2^53)} - `9.007199254741e+15`
- ${string.format("%.14g", 1.7976931348623e+308)} - `1.7976931348623e+308`
- ${string.format("%.14g", 5e-324)} - `4.9406564584125e-324`
- ${string.format("%.14g", 0/0)} - `-nan`
- ${string.format("%.14g", 1/0)} - `inf`
- ${string.format("%.14g", -1/0)} - `-inf`

* [Space Lua] Add `%p` format specifier to `string.format`

In standard Lua, `%p` formats the internal C heap address of a value,
producing output like `0x55a3bc4e2f10`. It works on tables, functions,
threads, strings, and userdata (GC-ed objects). For `nil`, booleans, and
numbers it returns `(null)`.

In Space Lua, there are no *raw memory addresses* since the runtime is
JavaScript. Instead, `%p` assigns a *stable sequential integer* to each
object via a `WeakMap`, formatted as a 14-digit zero-padded hex value.
The key difference is that identifiers are deterministic and sequential
rather than random-looking heap addresses:

```lua
local t = {}

print(string.format("identifier: %p", t)) -- 0x00000000000001
print(string.format("the same:   %p", t)) -- 0x00000000000001
print(string.format("another:    %p", {}) -- 0x00000000000002
```

For strings, a regular `Map` is used so identical string content always
produces the same identifier.

* Space Lua: Align arithmetical error messages with Lua 5.4

**Fixes:**

- Tighten `tonumber` semantics to accept hex floats like `0x1.2` while
  keeping plain hex as integers.

- Improve Lua compatibility by fixing relational `>`/`>=` operand
  ordering to preserve correct error type direction.

**Changes:**

- Update concatenation errors to include the operand type.

- Add `LuaStringCoercionError` from numeric coercion and handle it
  in `luaOp()` to emit correct messages (or fallback).

- Raise

  > `bad argument #2 to 'tonumber' (base out of range)`

  for invalid bases.

- Update test suite

**Notes:**

- The `arithmetic_test.lua` test suite now passes if run with Lua 5.4.
