Scripting: native lua.exists() implementation.multi-if

This was a test to check how much faster native implementation would be.
In initial tests it does not look like is this huge win.

After all this is at least in part obvious. Now scripting.c tries to
avoid allocations of argument vectors, and turning ":1" accumulated in
the client buffer into a Lua type is a fast operation.
