Import ConTeX's lua libraries
Replace most of luaextra.lua with a bunch of require() calls and add renamed (but unmodified) ConTeX lua libraries to the repository. ConTeXt's l-xml.lua module has been excluded because it depends on a bunch of other ConTeXt specific modules. Also l-pdfview.lua has been dropped, I don't know what to use it for.
