Add check for number of arguments

There are two problems here:
 1. bcc is leaving the extra function parameters in the prototype, when
 these really just serve as an annotation on the method being traced.
 They aren't really passed into the function. LLVM lowering phase later
 errors out on such functions.
 2. bcc doesn't limit the size of the argument list, when currently it
 just supports up to the number of arguments held in registers (6).

Fix 1. by rewriting the arguments out of the prototype and into the
preamble where they are currently being initialized.
Fix 2. by enforcing the limit and returning a more meaningful error

lua: Properly support high-range 64 addresses

Lua's native Number type is a 64-bit double with 52-bit precision, which
was causing rounding errors when storing and working with high-range
memory addresses (namely, addresses from the kernel, which are all in
the `0xffffffff........` range).

To work around this, we've made sure to never call `tonumber` on any
variables that represent memory addresses, and instead continue
operating on them with their native types: LuaJIT can work with the
underlying `uint64_t` type for these values and transparently perform
all kinds of numeric operations.

The only limitation of working with native 64-bit types in LuaJIT is
that they cannot be printed with the language's default `string.format`
API. To give better UX to probe writers, these APIs have been
monkeypatched so the `%p` format specifier will now properly handle
64-bit addresses and print them in an appropriate format.
