builtin: Fix print crashing on nil "holes".

kaeza · est31 · commit 430195381d8d · 2016-02-08T01:55:02.000+01:00
The engine implementation of `print` packs the varargs into a
table and passes the table directly to `table.concat`. If you
pass any value not supported by `table.concat` (particularly
`nil`), the server crashes. This is unexpected behavior, as
`print` is supposed to be able to work with anything.

This patch changes the implementation so it first converts
all arguments using `tostring`, which fixes the issue and
makes the custom `print` function compatible with the stock
Lua behavior.
