'luaL_newstate' should not allocate extra memory

The allocation of a userdata for the state of the warn system can
cause a panic if it fails; 'luaL_ref' also can fail. This commit
re-implements the warn system so that it does not need an explicit
state. Instead, the system uses different functions to represent
the different states.
