lua 5.2 - remove getfenv in base.lua about metalua

[agladysh]

Whatever you do, please do keep MetaLua compatible with 5.1

[fab13n]

I plan to overhaul this in the repackaging branch, together with cutting
metalua into independent libs.

Yes, IMHO, Metalua should run on both 5.1 and 5.2 and parse/compile both 5.1 and 5.2 (including 5.2 from 5.1 and vice-versa).

BTW, the lexer currently lexes a superset of 5.1 and 5.2, but I'm not aware of 5.2 support in the parser yet. We'll need to think about how best to handle the 5.2 migration. See also http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaVersionCompatibility for ideas.
