lua: update to 5.5.0

[dragon-archer]

Fix #28002

• refresh patches
• merge 2 implib related patches
• add check()

Several TODOs:

• Should we add a lua54 package, just like current lua51 and lua53
• Not sure whether 0004-fix-fseek-on-mingw.patch is useful, seemes that the compile and check suceeds without it.
• Rebuild lots of packages

@luau-project do you have any thoughts on this?

I do think it is a good idea to add a lua54 package. In the Lua ecosystem, many packages are not ready for Lua 5.5 yet.

Hosted here:

• mingw-w64-lua-luarocks, mingw-w64-luafilesystem and mingw-w64-lua-cjson are ready (5.5);
• mingw-w64-lua-lsqlite3 hasn't been updated to work on Lua 5.5, even though there is an update request (https://lua.sqlite.org/home/tktview/c2bbe79c03);
• Regarding the packages for texlive and other lesser known Lua packages here, I have no idea about their status.

Note

From what I see in the wild, not many people use Lua 5.3. It might be a target for removal, if you want to save hosting space.

Mostly, 5.1, 5.4 and 5.5 would cover most users.

Without this patch, building Lua with MinGW-w64, the lua.exe interpreter is not large file aware. This patch is needed to seek over 32-bit range ( > 2 GB ) in files. In short, without this patch, we would face #20892 again.

ok, let's add 5.4 and 5.5 then (for the packages that support it)

after that we can look into cleaning up 5.3
