Use Github actions for installing Lua/Luarocks, check all Lua versions

Addresses #66 (comment)

The tests don't succeed with Lua 5.1 and Lua 5.2 yet, but maybe there is a simple fix.

The 5.1 failure occurs due to luaffi-tkl's use of luaL_tolstring (which is undefined in Lua 5.1) and needs to be fixed upstream.
The 5.2 failure occurs due to luaffi-tkl's use of bitwise operators (which were added to Lua in 5.3) in its bit.lua and also needs to be fixed upstream.

BTW, while we're at it, it might be good to also bump the busted and luacheck versions in the Makefile.

I agree. Seems like luaL_tostring can simply be replaced by lua_tostring.

The 5.2 failure occurs due to luaffi-tkl's use of bitwise operators (which were added to Lua in 5.3) in its bit.lua and also needs to be fixed upstream.

Here I think we can simply install luabitop for versions 5.1 and 5.2. It removes <prefix>/share/lua/5.2/bit.lua and replaces it by <prefix>/lib/lua/5.2/bit.so

That works so locally, but not in the CI pipeline. I have reported the two issues upstream and they will be addressed. It just takes some time.
