All enum errors have (hopefully) been changed to a luax_enumerror, which has a
fixed error message. If additionally a list of valid options is passed, it
lists that in the error message. For every enum error with few options I've
implemented this using a getConstants call.
This solution has been designed specifically to reduce the number of template
instantiations (as I've been told that was a concern). All new template code
happens in places where there already was an instantiation of the relevant
StringMap. Of course there is still std::vector<std::string>...

With the highdpi window flag enabled on a retina-capable display and OS, content should now appear to the user at the same size and in the same positions as with the flag disabled.
As a result, mouse and touch coordinates, Texture and graphics dimensions, and the graphics coordinate system now use pixel density-scaled units instead of pixels. Raw pixel units should generally only be used for things such as shader algorithms which execute per-pixel and rely on accurate pixel dimensions. love.window.fromPixels and friends typically don’t need to be used anymore.
Images, Canvases, and Fonts can have an optional explicit ‘pixel density’ set when creating them. This allows for easily loading high pixel density content which displays at the same size as regular or low pixel density content.
API changes:
- Added Texture:getPixelWidth/getPixelHeight/getPixelDimensions and Texture:getPixelDensity. Texture:getWidth/getHeight return the pixel density-scaled width and height (as it will appear on the screen when drawn) rather than the number of pixels on each texture dimension.
- Added love.graphics.getPixelWidth/getPixelHeight/getPixelDimensions.
- Added optional ‘pixeldensity’ field to the settings table parameter of love.graphics.newImage. It defaults to 1, or if the file the Image was loaded from has “@2x”, “@3x”, etc. at the end of its name, it uses that number as the pixel density scale by default.
- love.graphics.newCanvas now takes a table as its third parameter, with fields “format”, “msaa”, and “pixeldensity”. pixeldensity defaults to the main screen’s pixel density. The width and height parameters specify the visual size that the Canvas will be drawn at / can be drawn to (pixel density-scaled units).
- love.graphics.newVideo accepts a table as its second parameter, with optional fields “audio” and “pixeldensity”. pixeldensity defaults to 1.
- love.graphics.newFont variants have an optional pixeldensity parameter at the end of the argument list. For TrueType fonts this defaults to the current pixel density scale of the screen, and for BMFonts and ImageFonts this defaults to 1.
- Added Font:getPixelDensity.
- Renamed love.window.getPixelScale to love.window.getPixelDensity.

- Type names for love's Lua objects are specified as an argument to luax_register_type, rather than being statically defined in an array.
- luax_register_type takes a variable number of method array arguments, for registering superclass methods without copying them into the subclass' method array.
Also removed most of the header declarations for wrapper functions.
All mipmap levels must be present if custom mipmaps are used (and their sizes must be half the size of the previous mipmap level, rounded down.)
Image:getData now returns all custom mipmaps in an Image.
Scancodes represent a physical key independent of the keyboard's current layout. For example, pressing the key located where 'q' is on a U.S. keyboard will produce the key 'q' and the scancode 'q' when using a U.S. keyboard layout, but when using a French keyboard layout it will produce the key 'a' and the scancode 'q'.
Scancodes are useful for creating default controls that have the same physical locations on on all keyboards.
This fixes the issue of receiving an unwanted text input event if a key is used to bring a game's textbox into focus, since textinput events can be triggered after keypress events if the keypress generates text.
