8573 e23ff7009c Lua: Fix uses of tostring calls as LHSs to or
This commit changes occurrences of the pattern `tostring(x) or y` to
`tostring(x or y)` in the following Lua scripts:

  - `data/lua/wml-tags.lua`
  - `data/lua/wml/items.lua`

`tostring(x) or y` is unlikely to do what the author intended (and is
pointless unless `x` is an object of a custom type with unusual
behavior), because `tostring` returns a string (`"false"` or `"nil"`)
if `x` is a falsy value (`false` or `nil`), and all strings are truthy
in Lua — thus, `tostring(x) or y` will (unless `x` is of a custom
type) *always* evaluate to `tostring(x)`, never to `y`.

`tostring(x or y)` should, I expect, give the intended behavior.
