Initially, these two patches were merged, and I did the split (see
http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/package/lua?h=next&id=2c7e9c50e9bef1c494ef90411a466ad320846b96).

I did this because in my point of view :
- lua-03-shared-libs-for-luac.patch is too invasive and not really
useful because the static version of luac is enough.
- lua-02-shared-libs-for-lua.patch is mandatory for using native
extensions, like LuaFileSystem, LuaSocket, ...

Note : lua-03-shared-libs-for-luac.patch could be removed without any
other change.
