2015-05-13Changes to Lua module loading, and file generation.Josh Haberman
This change has several parts: 1. Resurrected tools/upbc. The code was all there but the build was broken for open-source. Now you can type "make tools/upbc" and it will build all necessary Lua modules and create a robust shell script for running upbc. 2. Changed Lua module loading to no longer rely on OS-level .so dependencies. The net effect of this is that you now only need to set LUA_PATH and LUA_CPATH; setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH or rpaths is no longer required. Downside: this drops compatibility with Lua 5.1, since it depends on a feature that only exists in Lua >=5.2 (and LuaJIT). 3. Since upbc works again, I fixed the re-generation of the descriptor files (descriptor.upb.h, descriptor.upb.c). "make genfiles" will re-generate these as well as the JIT code generator. 4. Added a Travis test target that ensures that the checked-in generated files are not out of date. I would do this for the Ragel generated file also, but we can't count on all versions of Ragel to necessarily generate identical output. 5. Changed Makefile to no longer automatically run Ragel to regenerate the JSON parser. This is unfortuante, because it's convenient when you're developing the JSON parser. However, "git clone" sometimes skews the timestamps a little bit so that "make" thinks it needs to regenerate these files for a fresh "git clone." This would normally be harmless, but if the user doesn't have Ragel installed, it makes the build fail completely. So now you have to explicitly regenerate the Ragel output. If you want to you can uncomment the auto-generation during development.

Many things have changed and been simplified. The memory-management story for upb_def and upb_handlers is much more robust; upb_def and upb_handlers should be fairly stable interfaces now. There is still much work to do for the runtime component (upb_sink).
