Thiago de Arruda d04ca90f5c Add basic infrastructure for unit testing
Tests will be written using the [moonscript](http://moonscript.org/) language,
a lua 'dialect' that is whitespace-significant and has a syntax similar to
coffeescript. The test framework used is [busted](http://olivinelabs.com/busted/),
a bdd framework for lua/moonscript.

Luajit has a nice ffi module, which lets lua programs link shared libraries and
call it's functions without writing any C code.

To take advantage of this fact for testing C functions, a new target was added
to CMakeLists.txt, which compiles neovim as a shared library that is loaded by
the process running the tests.

This commit adds necessary code for downloading and installing a lua package
manager(luarocks) locally. It wasn't added as a subtree because there are quite
a few blobs in its source tree.
