Temporary timers & triggers Lua code be marked for deletion after they've executed

[Vadim Peretokin]

Temporary timers & triggers Lua code should be marked for deletion after they've executed. Lua's incremental GC will account for actually deleting them in bits as it's necessary, so it will not be a performance hit (just like it hasn't been already for many user scripts).

The current setup creates a memory leak.

Sadly, this prevents me from being able to use

function tempGag(time, line)
 local trig = tempRegexTrigger(line, [[
  deleteLine()
 ]])
 tempTimer(time, [[killTrigger(]]..trig..[[)]])
 return trig
end

until this bug is resolved, otherwise I end up having a 500mb memory usage and the game slows down unplayably.

The idea was to save time by having gag lines only considered shortly after the command that prompted their need was issued.

Please fix!!
