Port Patch - lang/lua53. Three new patches, port maintainer change.

The Lua team maintains a list of bugs found in each release of Lua since 4.0
[1] with examples that show the bug and a patch when the fix is available.

This patch includes three patches to the files ldebug.c, lgc.c and lparser.c.
See https://www.lua.org/bugs.html for details on the patches. 

As discussed with the maintainer, this issue is also a request to take
maintainership of the lua53 port. I have been an avid user of lua for two years
now and I am active on their mailing list. I use FreeBSD as my daily driver at
home and build fbsd and lua for arm.

I have the following future goals for the port:

1) Become more familiar with the current port makefile in the hopes of cleaning
it up with the communities help.
2) Currently the upstream freebsd target fails on all FreeBSD instances I have
tried (some of the reason for port makefile bloat imho). I would like to work
with PUC-Rio (maintainer) to bring this in line. 
3) Create a high quality port for the next release of Lua.
