<p> FFI: Prevent sanitizer warning in carith_ptr().<br>
<br>
Reported by Sergey Bronnikov.<br>
<br>
(cherry picked from commit
c3b379bf50c8819c61daa3afd9f21d9ec5708bd5)<br>
<br>
The Undefined Behaviour Sanitizer [1] produce a warning about<br>
signed integer overflow in the function carith_ptr(), when idx<br>
equals INT_MIN in the expression idx = -idx. In practice,<br>
negating -2147483648 wraps back to itself instead of producing
the<br>
correct positive value, leading to incorrect pointer
arithmetic in<br>
carith_ptr() for MM_sub (pointer subtraction). The patch fixes<br>
that by converting idx to unsigned (uintptr_t), computes two's<br>
complement negation via bitwise negation + 1 (safe from
overflow<br>
in unsigned arithmetic), and casts back to ptrdiff_t. This
avoids<br>
signed overflow entirely and correctly negates even the
INT_MIN<br>
edge case.<br>
<br>
The patch follows up the commit
78f4de4d7d0c410eeaf75cec5bb178fdb7db1452<br>
("Avoid negation of signed integers in C that may hold
INT*_MIN.").<br>

Minor: Let's use loadstring instead (I know that they are literally the
same function in LuaJIT, but it's semantically better to use it for
loading strings, while `load()` is used for generators).
For Lua 5.1 they are not the same:
| lua5.1 -e 'load"print(1)"()'
| lua5.1: (command line):1: bad argument #1 to 'load' (function expected, got string)
The `loadstring()` has been deprecated in Lua5.2.
This `0LL%0` looks weird. Let's just use the resulting
`-0x8000000000000000LL` instead.
Also, please add the comment that `nil` as the first operand of
subtraction is required, since it is required to trigger metamethod
invocation. It successfully passes the argument check since it may be
considered as NULL ptr for other metamethods.</pre>
