This is a step in order to remove Lua 5.1, but not LuaJIT which stay as is.
In otherways, Lua evolves :
- Lua 5.3.5 will be the last one of its serie
- Lua 5.4 is up coming (lua-5.4.0-alpha is already available)
- Lua 5.2.4 was released on 2015
- Lua 5.1.5 was released on 2012.

Lua has two sides :
- an interpreter which could be used with various modules
- a library used as optional dependency
This serie handles only the interpreter side.
