lua/utils: improve luaT_newthread performance

<luaT_newthread> created a new GCfunc object for the helper invoked in a
protected <lua_cpcall> frame (i.e. <luaT_newthread_wrapper>) on each
call. The change introduces a static reference to a GCfunc object for
<luaT_newthread_wrapper> to be initialized on Tarantool startup to
reduce Lua GC memory usage.

Furthermore, since <lua_cpcall> yields nothing on guest stack, the newly
created Lua coroutine need to be pushed back to prevent its sweep. So to
reduce guest stack manipulations <lua_cpcall> is replaced with
<lua_pcall> and the resulting Lua thread is obtained via guest stack.
