Phase 126: Aggressive macro removal - Convert 17 macros to C++ functions

Converted the following macros to modern C++ (template) functions:

**Memory/Limits (llimits.h, lmem.h):**
- l_numbits(t) → l_numbits<T>() template constexpr
- log2maxs(t) → log2maxs<T>() template constexpr
- MAX_SIZE → inline constexpr variable
- MAX_LMEM → inline constexpr variable
- luaM_limitN(n,t) → luaM_limitN<T>(n) template constexpr

**Math library (lmathlib.cpp):**
- trim64(x) → inline constexpr function
- trim32(x) → inline constexpr function
- I2UInt(x) → inline function
- Int2I(x) → inline function

**Memory management (lmem.cpp):**
- callfrealloc(g,block,os,ns) → inline function
- cantryagain(g) → inline bool function

**Auxiliary library (lauxlib.cpp):**
- addbuff(b,v) → template function with reference parameter

**Table library (ltablib.cpp):**
- aux_getn(L,n,w) → inline function (added forward declaration)

**Stack management (lstack.cpp):**
- condmovestack(L,pre,pos) → template function with lambdas

**Opcodes (lopcodes.cpp):**
- opmode(mm,ot,it,t,a,m) → inline constexpr function

**API (lapi.cpp):**
- checkresults(L,na,nr) → inline void function

**Serialization (lundump.cpp):**
- getaddr(S,n,t) → getaddr<T>(S,n) template function

**Results:**
- Converted 17 macros to functions
- All tests pass
- Performance: ~2.36s avg (excellent, well below 4.33s target)
- Zero compiler warnings
- Macro conversion progress: ~99.5% complete
