Motivation for this change

Extracted from #33903. Endgoal is to improve lua support.
Some luarocks commands wouldn't work (pack/unpack) so I've added the required dependencies.

the 2nd commit is my fork of luarocks that converts luarocks packages into nix packages (providing the lua infrastructure in #33903 gets merged). As such it might represent some dead code so feel free to merge only the first commit.

Things done
  • Tested using sandboxing (nix.useSandbox on NixOS, or option sandbox in nix.conf on non-NixOS)
  • Built on platform(s)
    • NixOS
    • macOS
    • other Linux distributions
  • Tested via one or more NixOS test(s) if existing and applicable for the change (look inside nixos/tests)
  • Tested compilation of all pkgs that depend on this change using nix-shell -p nox --run "nox-review wip"
  • Tested execution of all binary files (usually in ./result/bin/)
  • Determined the impact on package closure size (by running nix path-info -S before and after)
  • Assured whether relevant documentation is up to date
  • Fits CONTRIBUTING.md.

Looks fine. Feel free to add yourself as luarocks maintainer. I am OK with adding luarocks-nix, but I think it is better to have rev and sha256 in an expression under luarocks/ (maybe have luarocks-nix.nix that accepts luarocks argument and overrides it), not in all-packages.nix

better support for luarocks in a shell (helpful to develop on luarocks).
Also adds unpacker for src.rock/rockspec files.
Also allows to use luarocks to build cmake based rocks.
luarocks-nix is a fork of luarocks that adds a "nix" command capable of
converting luarocks package descriptions into nix derivations (though nixpkgs is
still missing the lua infrastructure).

cool. I've added myself as a maintainer and added a luarocks-nix.nix.
