[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] work with lua 5.3 without compat mode (#169)

[Panu Matilainen]

So, breaking build on RHEL/Centos-7 is a non-option for the time being, The only thing that qualifies as a precedent we have for this sort of thing is for bundled BDB support and don't really like that either.

What I'd prefer is a patch that adds support for Lua 5.3 without requiring LUA_COMPAT_MODULE for it, but allowing 5.1-5.2 to keep building without any extra hassle.  As in, keep my cake and eat it too ;) 
If it requires copying a trick or two from the lua-compat thing into rpm then so be it. Looking at the amount of changed code in is PR, it's not a whole lot really.
