Subject: [PATCH] lua: read coordxy fields with the right width (big-endian
 fix)

Add ANY_INT16 to any_types and use it for u.ux/uy/tx/ty and uz
dlevel/dnum.  These are coordxy (int16_t) but the Lua bindings were
treating them as 1-byte fields, so on big-endian m68k Lua read the
high byte (0) instead of the actual value.  Symptom: place_object
off map <0,0> in the tutorial.
