Implements the Lua load() function which compiles a string of Lua
code and returns a function that executes it.
Features:
- Compiles string chunks into executable functions
- Returns nil + error message on parse/compile errors
- Compiled functions can access global environment
Limitations:
- Only supports string chunks (not reader functions)
- Does not support chunkname, mode, or env parameters yet
- Error messages include ANSI formatting (cosmetic issue)
Tests added for basic load functionality. Some tests are simplified
due to current VM limitations with multi-assignment (a, b = f()) and
multi-value table constructors ({f()}).
This enables running Lua 5.3 test suite files that use load() for
dynamic code generation and testing.
