From: Mike Pall <mike>

Reported by elmknot.

(cherry-picked from commit cc96ab9d513582703f8663a8775a935b56db32b7)

During the recording of an arithmetic operation with a cdata function
object and some cdata value in `recff_cdata_arith()`, reallocation of
`cts->tab` in `lj_ctype_intern()` may occur. In that case, the reference
to the first `CType` object (`s[0]`) becomes invalid. This patch saves
the `CTypeID` of this object and gets its `CType` again after possible
reallocation.

Also, this commit fills `cts->tab` memory with zeros before being freed
when `-DLUAJIT_CTYPE_CHECK_ANCHOR` is defined. It helps to observe
assertion failures in case this memory is used after free.

Sergey Kaplun:
* added the description and the test for the problem
