Lua: Add Lua plugin support

Adds basic support for writing Plugins using the lua scripting language.
Lua Plugins are registered just as native plugins are and can be enabled
or disabled via the plugin dialog.

see src/plugins/lua/README.md for further details.

+# Lua Plugin
+
+## Introduction
+
+The Lua plugin provides support for writing plugins using the Lua scripting language.
+
+## Usage
+
+The plugin scans the folder `lua-plugins` folder inside the normal plugin folder of Qt Creator
+`ExtensionSystem::PluginManager::pluginPaths()`. It loads scripts from any folder that contains
+a .lua script named the same as the folder.
+Whether or not the script is enabled is determined by the `disabledByDefault` field in the plugin
+table and the settings configured via the "About Plugins" dialog in Qt Creator.
+
+## Basic Lua plugin
+
+A Lua script needs to provide the following table to be considered a plugin:
+
+```lua
+-- lua-plugins/myluaplugin/myluaplugin.lua
+return {
+    name = "MyLuaPlugin",
+    version = "1.0.0",
+    compatVersion = "1.0.0",
+    vendor = "The Qt Company",
+    category = "Language Client",
+    setup = function() print("Hello World!") end,
+
+    --- The following fields are optional
+    description = "My first lua plugin",
+    longDescription = [[
+A long description.
+Can contain newlines.
+    ]],
+    url = "https://www.qt.io",
+    license = "MIT",
+    revision = "rev1",
+    copyright = "2024",
+    experimental = true,
+    disabledByDefault = false,
+
+    dependencies = {
+        { name="Core", version = "12.0.0" }
+    },
+} --[[@as QtcPlugin]]
+```
+
+Your base file needs to be named the same as the folder its contained in.
+It must only return the plugin specification table and not execute or require any other code.
+Use `require` to load other files from within the setup function.
+
+```lua
+-- lua-plugins/myluaplugin/myluaplugin.lua
+return {
+    -- ... required fields omitted ..
+    setup = function() require 'init'.setup() end,
+} --[[@as QtcPlugin]]
+
+-- lua-plugins/myluaplugin/init.lua
+local function setup()
+    print("Hello from Lua!")
+end
+
+return {
+    setup = setup,
+}
+```
+
+The `require` function will search for files as such:
+
+```
+my-lua-plugin/?.lua
+```
+
+## Lua <=> C++ bindings
+
+The Lua plugin provides the [sol2](https://github.com/ThePhD/sol2) library to bind C++ code to Lua.
+sol2 is well [documented here](https://sol2.rtfd.io).
+
+## Lua Language Server
+
+To make developing plugins easier, we provide a meta file [qtc.lua](meta/qtc.lua) that describes
+what functions and classes are available in the Lua plugin. If you add bindings yourself
+please add them to this file. The [.luarc.json](../../.luarc.json) file contains the configuration
+for the [Lua Language Server](https://luals.github.io/) and will automatically load the `qtc.lua` file.
+
+## Coroutines
+
+A lot of Qt Creator functions will take some time to complete. To not block the main thread during
+that time, we make heavy use of lua coroutines. Functions that need a coroutine to work are documented
+as such, lets take for example `qtc.waitms(ms)`. This function will wait for `ms` milliseconds and
+then return. To use it you need to call it using the async module from a running coroutine:
+
+```lua
+local a = require 'async'
+local function myFunction()
+    a.wait(qtc.waitms(1000))
+    print("Hello from Lua!")
+end
+
+local function setup()
+    a.sync(myFunction)()
+end
+```
+
+The waitms function will immediately yield, which will suspend the execution of `myFunction` **AND**
+make the `a.sync(myFunction)()` return.
+
+Once the internal timer is triggered, the C++ code will resume `myFunction` and it will continue to
+print the message. `myFunction` will then return and the coroutine will be "dead", meaning it cannot
+be resumed again. You can of course create a new coroutine and call `myFunction` again.
+
