Completed Lua 5.3 upgrade!

[Patrick Donnelly <batrick () batbytes com>]

Hello nmap-dev!

It's been a while since I've worked on the upgrade to Lua 5.3 [1]
which adds several awesome features of particular interest to nmap
including bitwise operators and integers, a utf8 library, and standard
binary pack/unpack functions. I'm happy to say to have found time to
finish this work after finally finishing my Ph.D.

Without further ado, here's the branch:

https://github.com/batrick/nmap/tree/nse-lua53

[That's not mergeable right now because of different histories. Once
the branch is done, I will push it to svn and do a proper merge.]

The main differences with the last branch in [1] is the completed
removal of the bin library (now supported by a wrapper around
string.pack|unpack). Also, the base32/base64 libraries have been
reimplemented using Lua 5.3's new bitwise operators (mostly because
base32/base64 used the criminally broken bin.pack "B" option). All of
the big library changes include lots of tests to confirm things work
properly.

I would love to hear some feedback including "it works for me!".
