Update Cobalt to 0.7
- Timeouts are now driven by an interrupt system, rather than polling.
   While we do not impose memory limits, this should close #1333.

 - Update the table library to largely match Lua 5.4:
    - Add table.move
    - Table methods (with the exception of foreach/foreachi) now use
      metamethods (closes #1088).
   There's still some remaining quirks (for instance, table.insert
   accepts values out-of-bounds), but I think that's fine.

 - Cobalt's threaded-coroutine system is gone (load now supports
   yielding), so we no longer track coroutine metrics.

 - Type errors now use __name. See #1355, though this does not apply to
   CC methods (either on the Java or CraftOS side), so is not enough to
   resolve it.

See https://github.com/SquidDev/Cobalt/compare/v0.6.0...v0.7.0 for the
full delta.

# Lua 5.2/5.3 features in CC: Tweaked
CC: Tweaked is based off of the Cobalt Lua runtime, which uses Lua 5.1. However, Cobalt and CC:T implement additional features from Lua 5.2 and 5.3 (as well as some deprecated 5.0 features) that are not available in base 5.1. This page lists all of the compatibility for these newer versions.
## Lua 5.2
| Feature | Supported? | Notes |
|---------------------------------------------------------------|------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `goto`/labels | ❌ | |
| `_ENV` | 🔶 | The `_ENV` global points to `getfenv()`, but it cannot be set. |
| `\z` escape | ✔ | |
| `\xNN` escape | ✔ | |
| Hex literal fractional/exponent parts | ✔ | |
| Empty statements | ❌ | |
| `__len` metamethod | ✔ | |
| `__ipairs` metamethod | ❌ | Deprecated in Lua 5.3. `ipairs` uses `__len`/`__index` instead. |
| `__pairs` metamethod | ✔ | |
| `bit32` library | ✔ | |
| `collectgarbage` isrunning, generational, incremental options | ❌ | `collectgarbage` does not exist in CC:T. |
| New `load` syntax | ✔ | |
| `loadfile` mode parameter | ✔ | Supports both 5.1 and 5.2+ syntax. |
| Removed `loadstring` | 🔶 | Only if `disable_lua51_features` is enabled in the configuration. |
| Removed `getfenv`, `setfenv` | 🔶 | Only if `disable_lua51_features` is enabled in the configuration. |
| `rawlen` function | ✔ | |
| Negative index to `select` | ✔ | |
| Removed `unpack` | 🔶 | Only if `disable_lua51_features` is enabled in the configuration. |
| Arguments to `xpcall` | ✔ | |
| Second return value from `coroutine.running` | ✔ | |
| Removed `module` | ✔ | |
| `package.loaders` -> `package.searchers` | ❌ | |
| Second argument to loader functions | ✔ | |
| `package.config` | ✔ | |
| `package.searchpath` | ✔ | |
| Removed `package.seeall` | ✔ | |
| `string.dump` on functions with upvalues (blanks them out) | ✔ | |
| `string.rep` separator | ✔ | |
| `%g` match group | ❌ | |
| Removal of `%z` match group | ❌ | |
| Removed `table.maxn` | 🔶 | Only if `disable_lua51_features` is enabled in the configuration. |
| `table.pack`/`table.unpack` | ✔ | |
| `math.log` base argument | ✔ | |
| Removed `math.log10` | 🔶 | Only if `disable_lua51_features` is enabled in the configuration. |
| `*L` mode to `file:read` | ✔ | |
| `os.execute` exit type + return value | ❌ | `os.execute` does not exist in CC:T. |
| `os.exit` close argument | ❌ | `os.exit` does not exist in CC:T. |
| `istailcall` field in `debug.getinfo` | ❌ | |
| `nparams` field in `debug.getinfo` | ✔ | |
| `isvararg` field in `debug.getinfo` | ✔ | |
| `debug.getlocal` negative indices for varargs | ❌ | |
| `debug.getuservalue`/`debug.setuservalue` | ❌ | Userdata are rarely used in CC:T, so this is not necessary. |
| `debug.upvalueid` | ✔ | |
| `debug.upvaluejoin` | ✔ | |
| Tail call hooks | ❌ | |
| `=` prefix for chunks | ✔ | |
| Yield across C boundary | ✔ | |
| Removal of ambiguity error | ❌ | |
| Identifiers may no longer use locale-dependent letters | ✔ | |
| Ephemeron tables | ❌ | |
| Identical functions may be reused | ❌ | Removed in Lua 5.4 |
| Generational garbage collector | ❌ | Cobalt uses the built-in Java garbage collector. |
## Lua 5.3

|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------|---------------------------|
| Integer subtype | ❌ | |
| Bitwise operators/floor division | ❌ | |
| `\u{XXX}` escape sequence | ✔ | |
