I checked now, and Lua addeded debug.getupvalue() to Lua C API.

On other words, fiber storage now can be implemented in pure Lua,
without any triggers. 

Back when we were writing, upvalue API was only available in C
API, and AFAIR there was no way to access upvalues from Lua, this
is why we had to come up with this hack.
