LuaJIT as installed by apt doesn't include the COMPAT mode for using
Lua5.2 features. So this change just makes the flatbuffer code use a
common implementation.
* [Lua] Add LuaJIT support
Here is the output of LuaTest.sh:

* [Lua] Better usage description
* update according to the review
Fixed a bug that prevented vtable reuse during buffer construction in the lua library.
Also fixed a bug in vtable equality check that was revealed after the first fix.
* starting Lua port of python implmention. Syncing commit
* Bulk of Lua module port from Python done. Not tested, only static analysis. Need to work on binary strings. Started work on flatc lua code generation
* Fixed all the basic errors to produced a binary output from the builder, don't know if it is generated correctly, but it contains data, so that must be good
* fixed binary set command that was extending the array improperly
* continued improvement
* Moved lua submodules down a directory so their names don't clash with potential other modules. Added compat module to provide Lua versioning logic
* Successful sample port from Python
* working on testing Lua code with formal tests
* continued to work on tests and fixes to code to make tests pass
* Added reading buffer test
* Changed binaryarray implmentation to use a temporary table for storing data, and then serialize it to a string when requested. This double the rate of building flatbuffers compared to the string approach.
* Didn't need encode module as it just added another layer of indirection that isn't need
* profiled reading buffers, optimizations to increase read performance of monster data to ~7 monster / millisecond
* Writing profiler improvments. Get about
~2 monsters/millisecond building rate
* removed Numpy generation from Lua (came from the Python port)
* math.pow is deprecated in Lua 5.3, so changed to ^ notation. Also added .bat script for starting Lua tests
* adding results of generate_code.bat
* simple edits for code review in PR.
* There was a buffer overflow in inserting the keywords into the unorder set for both the Lua and Python code gens. Changed insertion to use iterators.
* fixed spacing issue
* basic documenation/tutorial updates. Updated sample_binary.lua to reflect the tutorial better
* removed windows-specific build step in Lua tests
