I tweaked the commit log and applied.
I applied it as one patch because I think that’s OK, but note that we
prefer one patch per package added, unless there’s a compelling reason
not to do so.
Thank you!

Hello,
This is my first time contributing a patch, so hopefully I did everything
right. The patch adds two packages for Lua 5.1; the new packages are based on
the existing Lua 5.2 packages. The reason we need separate packages for Lua
5.1 and 5.2 is because Lua is not backwards compatible between releases: there
is no guarantee that code working on 5.1 will work on 5.2 or vice-versa (even
though it probably will, we don't want to rely on probably). These two
packages will be needed by the Neovim package later.
