Objects with links like `job` output way too much. With this change, it's possible to provide an optional filter and exclude the `list_link`.
```
[lua]# j = dfhack.gui.getSelectedJob()
[lua]# printall_recurse(j, {[tostring(j.list_link)]=true, [tostring(j.pos)]=true})
```
I often want to see multiple items quickly when trying to figure out
what states actually matter to an issue that I debug. I decided to make
it easier to quickly dump df structures with substructures and
containers. It will generate large amount of data which can be sometimes
slow to process manually. But processing can be automated using
dfhack-run lua ^<df data to inspect> and pipe to other tools (eg grep,
sed, perl, sort, uniq etc)
Console::lineedit can return -1 to indicate input error and -2 to
indicate the program is closing. But most users don't check possible
unusual return values which can lead to exit hang.
Changes include
* table.getn(obj) -> #obj
* Making sure string.rep gets an integer parameter
* Optimized profiling hooks (call profiler cost from factor 40 to 10)
* Specialized parameter name lookup code for c++ __index metamod calls
* Collect source lines in time sampling variant
* Simplified prevent to always filter all children
Pepperfish Profiler can produce time sampled profiles and call entry
exit profiles. Code is verbatim copy from the lua wiki [1]. This commit
won't work alone but it exists to give author credit correctly to
Daniel.

The presence of syndrome data in unit.syndromes.active generates corresponding wound data in unit.body.wounds. This wound data acts to produce all of the syndrome's actual effects, including but not limited to flag changes, interaction abilities, body transformation and display name alterations. Wound data persists when syndrome data is cleared from unit.syndromes.active. Since syndrome-util did not touch wound data at all, the erase function was completely ineffective at actually removing syndromes.
Note that syndromes also generate a bunch of data in the historical figure information of units. I have observed that this historical data is sufficient to restore the syndrome in a unit following map reload (at least in adventure mode), so its clearance (which needs to also include any corresponding interaction effects) will have to be addressed in a future update. As is, syndrome erasure remains incomplete.
There is a lot more errors in this file, mostly called unk variables... I bet they have names, I've tried to figure out what they were renamed too, but I'm not fully understanding the xml.
Now, a pointer to NULL is cast to the type in question, avoiding the need to
call new() or delete() with potentially-misaligned types. Also,
virtual_identity::find has been tweaked to prevent it from crashing on NULL
vtable pointers.
This was suggested by Angavrilov.
