Better Lua replacements

[data-man]

Luau (sources) is the fast Lua alternative, written on C++17 with many useful additions.
BTW LuaBridge3 supports Luau out-of-the-box.

I had originally dropped in Lua from one of my Notepad++ plugins mainly for some debugging and flexibility during development. I've started relying on Lua a bit more than I had originally planned but not so much it couldn't be replaced/removed.

I wouldn't be opposed to something like Luau/LuaBridge3 especially since it seems to be backwards compatible (or at least easily enough). I don't foresee that there would be any noticeable performance gains since Lua isn't currently being used in any type of critical code path. However, using something that is improved/supported/modern is never a bad thing.

So I can start working on that, if you don't mind. But I think we should switch to CMake first. :)

CMake is also desirable. Work was started by another user in #100 but not finished. I am not very familiar with CMake and currently don't have time to try to learn it from scratch.

https://pluto-lang.org looks even better. :)
