lua: change build process to download artifacts from lua binaries

As the issue #1166 explains, building lua module does not work on Fedora
33 and up. In short, lua module depends on a specific version 5.3 of lua
interpreter, library and header files which may not be available on
given version of Fedora and which may be the case with other Linux
distributions.

The issue #1166 describes at least three alternative solutions to the
problem, but this patch solves it by changing the makefile to
download the lua interpreter (lua executable), library and header files
from a well maintained repository - LuaBinaries at 
http://luabinaries.sourceforge.net/
- logically in a similar way we download luarocks. The LuaBinaries has
been in place since 2005 so there is good chance we can keep relying
on it in foreseeable future.

At the moment the makefile downloads fairly recent version 5.3.6 of lua binaries
which are compatible with the versions of lua modules (like socket, etc)
and luarocks. In future we may upgrade all elements needed to build the
module as we see fit.

As the result of this patch, lua module should in theory be build-able on any
Linux distribution and version. in reality with newer versions of gcc
one can imagine that lua modules themselves will stop compiling at which
point we will need to upgrade those and possibly lua and luarocks itself.
Also please note that lua module no longer depends on version of lua
installed on host if any.

Fixes #1166
