It should be preferred instead of Data:getPointer because the latter uses lightuserdata which can't store more all possible memory addresses on some new arm64 architectures, when LuaJIT is used.
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>...

- Moved love.math.compress / decompress / decode / encode / hash to love.data.
- Changed love.data.compress/decompress to take the format argument first instead of second.
- Added love.data.newDataView. Returns a read-only subsection of an existing Data object.
- Added love.data.newByteData. Mostly useful in combination with LuaJIT's FFI as it has no extra methods currently.
- Added implementations of Lua 5.3's data packing APIs: love.data.packString / packData / unpack / getPackedSize.
Resolves issue #1336.

Since the type is passed to va_start, and apparently that's undefined behaviour if it's a reference.
<Textmode> the best kind of behavior

- 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.
