specially, just pass them on to the script as-is. Included a JSDOC note about
the use of js.exec.apply() to pass a variable number of arguments (ala execv).

Thanks Tracker1 for the pointer to 'spread' which led me to function.apply()
and the JS-standard method of achieving the result I needed with this
enhancement.

I still think that a script that calls exit() is unlikely to expect non-string
arguments in the first place, but if we don't need special case behavior, it's
better not to add it and keep the behavior consistent with load() and
require(). That was the decision of the executive board anyway. :-|

script are arrays, pass each element of the array as a separate argument to the
child script. This allows one script to generate a variable-length list of
arguments to be passed to another.

Improve "script missing" error reporting in js.exec().

child scope.

A child of the parent scopes js object can't do on_exit() stuff properly
due to the missing private context.  Create a new JS object in the child
instead.

We also need to copy in the js.load_path_list array contents since we don't
want the child changing the parent by accident.

exit_code, and don't throw the exception in the caller.

Remove support for js_scope == scope.  It sorta defeats the whole purpose
of js.exec().

This allows executing a new script in a specified scope, much like load().
There are important differences however...
1) js.exec() *must* specify a scope.
2) js.exec()d scripts can call exit() and their handlers are ran then,
   rather than when the parent script exists as in js.load().
3) The js object is installed in the scope with the real JS object as the
   prototype.  This generally shouldn't be an issue, but if you're doing
   strange things, stranger things may happen.
4) As part of #3, the exec_path/exec_dir/exec_file/startup_dir/scope
   properties of the JS object represent the new script, not the calling
   one.
5) js.exec() only searches in the passed startup dir (if specified) and the
   current js.exec_dir path.  It does not search the load paths or the mods
   directory at all.

This API is also subject to change.

HANDLE_PENDING() contains a return, so it's theoretically possible that the
memory allocated by the previous JSVALUE/STRING_TO_... allocation could
be leaked. So now we pass an optional pointer to HANDLE_PENDING() which will
call free() on it if it's not NULL, and then sets it to NULL for good measure.

When checking the terminated value, check all parents until you either find
one that is TRUE, or run out of parents.

Do *not* go up the chain of parents when *setting* terminated.  Background
threads still can't set it (TODO?).

scripts global scope (as opposed to js.global which is the instance global
scope), and having exit() define exit_code in js.scope instead of js.global.

This also sets exit_code in js.scope to null when preparing to execute a new
script.  If a new script starts in the same scope as an old one, the old
exit_code value will be destroyed.

This should only impact scripts where js.global != js.scope (bbs.exec()ed,
and mailsrvr)

global object exits.

This fixes a problem where the terminal server reuses the same global object
for all JS scripts, and they uses nested exec()s.  When the innermost script
would exit, the on_exit evals would occure in IT'S scope rather than in the
scope it was defined in, resulting in incorrect behaviour.
