Memory issues and GetItem* functions

Hi!

There's an issue with GetItemInfo and other item functions, that use item IDs. Passing big integers to these functions causes memory issues.

For example, this call
Lua Code:
  1. GetItemInfo(1234567890)
increased memory usage up to 5-6GB.



Further GetItemInfo calls, even GetItemInfo(1), hogged even more memory, and eventually crashed the client.

When client crashed I got a window saying
Not enough memory. Please refer to https://battle.net/support/article/6926 to find out how to reduce your memory usage

I had this earlier on the live 7.0 patch. I did not have the time to pinpoint it at the time, but indeed I was messing about with GetItemInfo.
