libui bare bindings for luajit and lua 5.1/ 5.2/ 5.3.

This binding makes libui available to lua scripts. libui is easy binding and should usable from nearly any lua project.

• Because lua is missing native threads support, so threads feature maybe lost.
• Because libui/lui is not mature enough, you maybe encounter strange bugs.

Examples can be found in the examples folders, those are translate from examples.
