As discussed in GH #3051, default-path is not taken into account when
loading files using lua-load-per-thread. In fact, the initial
hlua_load_state() (performed on first thread which parses the config)
is successful, but other threads run hlua_load_state() later based
on config hints which were saved by the first thread, and those config
hints only contain the file path provided on the lua-load-per-thread
config line, not the absolute one. Indeed, `default-path` directive
changes the current working directory only for the thread parsing the
configuration.

To fix the issue, when storing config hints under hlua_load_per_thread()
we now make sure to save the absolute file path for `lua-load-per-thread'
argument.

Thanks to GH user @zhanhb for having reported the issue

It may be backported to all stable versions.
