Sync to upstream/release/512 (#330)
- Improve refinement support for unions, in particular it's now possible to implement tagged unions as a union of tables where individual branches use a string literal type for one of the fields.
- Fix `string.split` type information
- Optimize `select(_, ...)` to run in constant time (~2.7x faster on VariadicSelect benchmark)
- Improve debug line information for multi-line assignments
- Improve compilation of table literals when table keys are constant expressions/variables
- Use forward GC barrier for `setmetatable` which slightly accelerates GC progress

Sync to upstream/release/508 (#301)
This version isn't for release because we've skipped some internal
numbers due to year-end schedule changes, but it's better to merge
separately.

Sync to upstream/release/507-pre (#286)
This doesn't contain all changes for 507 yet but we might want to do the
Luau 0.507 release a bit earlier to end the year sooner.

Changes:

- Type ascription (::) now permits casts between related types in both directions, allowing to refine or loosen the type (RFC #56)
- Fix type definition for tonumber to return number? since the input string isn't guaranteed to contain a valid number
- Fix type refinements for field access via []
- Many stability fixes for type checker
- Provide extra information in error messages for type mismatches in more cases
- Improve performance of type checking for large unions when union members are string literals
- Add coverage reporting support to Repl (--coverage command line argument) and lua_getcoverage C API
- Work around code signing issues during Makefile builds on macOS
- Improve performance of truthiness checks in some cases, particularly on Apple M1, resulting in 10-25% perf gains on qsort benchmark depending on the CPU/compiler
- Fix support for little-endian systems; IBM s390x here we go!

Sync to upstream/release/505 (#216)
- Improve error recovery during type checking
- Initial (not fully complete) implementation for singleton types (RFC RFC: Singleton types #37)
- Implement a C-friendly interface for compiler (luacode.h)
- Remove C++ features from lua.h (removed default arguments from luau_load and lua_pushcfunction)
- Fix lua_breakpoint behavior when enabled=false
- Implement coroutine.close (RFC RFC: coroutine.close #88)

Note, this introduces small breaking changes in lua.h:

- luau_load env argument is now required, pass an extra 0
- lua_pushcfunction now must be called with 3 arguments; if you were calling it with 2 arguments, pass an extra NULL; if you were calling it with 4, use lua_pushcclosure.

These changes are necessary to make sure lua.h can be used from pure C - the future release will make it possible by adding an option to luaconf.h to change function name mangling to be C-compatible. We don't anticipate breaking the FFI interface in the future, but this change was necessary to restore C compatibility.

Closes #121
Fixes #213
