Lua Socket

LuaSocket is a development branch of spring:

see https://github.com/spring/spring/tree/luasocket

Notes / known issues

- dns resolving is blocking - allow rules have exactly match the host:port in script. currently its not possible to use host:port in a lua widget and use the resolved hostname for connecting (and vice versa) (simple workaround, add both as rule)

- socket=require("socket") is needed - most lua scripts from luasocket won't work as they are blocking! rewriting them non-blocking is required! (should be in most cases few work, as parsing stuff can be reused)
