Lua 5.4 changed lua_rawlen to return lua_Unsigned, versus size_t in earlier versions. Change the C API signature to match, and add a wrapper function with the same name that maintains a stable Rust API by casting to usize.
The definition of lua_error in all of Lua 5.1 through 5.4 says lua_error returns int, but the Rust definition of the same function treats it as void (because it's known not to return). This causes link-time errors when building for wasm targets because the wasm linker is aware of function return types and errors out if they differ between definition and declaration.

This fixes some ABI issues I encountered while building for wasm32-unknown-emscripten after enabling lua-src to build with mlua-rs/lua-src-rs#8. The public API is unchanged despite needing to change some of the FFI declarations.
Commit b16f389 isn't a wasm-specific fix, but the issue it causes is unlikely to be noticed on other platforms unless it causes an ABI break leading to crashes.
