Forbid changing numerical types through compiler options

'luaconf.h' always defines options LUA_32BITS, LUA_C89_NUMBERS,
LUA_INT_TYPE, and LUA_FLOAT_TYPE (using 0/1 for the first two),
to avoid they being set through compiler options. (It is too easy
to forget these options when compiling other software that
interoperates with Lua.)
