AppPkg: Add the Lua interpreter and library.

StdLib: Add support and include files for Lua.

The sources for the Lua standalone interpreter, as well as its library, have been added to AppPkg/Applications/Lua.  The Lua library, LuaLib, can be used to embed Lua into new applications.

The Lua header files, needed for both building and embedding, are located in StdLib/Include/Lua.  The original versions of these header files, in the source directory, have been converted into stubs that reference the include files in StdLib.  This allows us to keep the Lua sources as close to the distributed version as possible.

Documentation is contained in the Lua/doc directory.  Further information is available at www.lua.org.
