OK, in all fairness this does a bit more than just fix that bug. It also
adds a 'Int64()' and 'UInt64()' __call metamethods. I generally dislike
using __call metamethods, because they're often unintuitive (for example
the wireshark Field and FielInfo use this in a bizarre fashion). But this
happens to be a perfect use for it, and very natural, imho. Another change
is to make the metatables of classes visible to scripts. There was never
really a good reason not to make them visible, and they have to be visible
to do things like use __call on a plain table... not to mention I need them
to be visible to run test scripts verifying evrything is kosher.
I also updated the test suite to test for the div/mod by zero.

usefulness, working around bug #9162 until Lua 5.3 is released.
The existing Int64 and UInt64 classes provide virtually no
usefullness, other than for creating a string of their value. While
one could then write Lua code to convert the string to Lua numbers and
such, ultimately Lua has no native 64-bit integer support, making such
a task difficult to handle in Lua. This change adds a host of
functions and operators to the existing Int64 (gint64) and UInt64
(guint64) classes, to enable true 64-bit integer support on par with
native Lua numbers.
A test script is also provided, which tests the functions/operators.
