These callbacks are set using the following:
breakpoint command add -s lua -o "print('hello world!')"
The user supplied script is executed as:
function (frame, bp_loc, ...)
<body>
end
So the local variables 'frame', 'bp_loc' and vararg are all accessible.
Any global variables declared will persist in the Lua interpreter.
A user should never hold 'frame' and 'bp_loc' in a global variable as
these userdatas are context dependent.

This implements a very elementary Lua script interpreter. It supports
running a single command as well as running interactively. It uses
editline if available. It's still missing a bunch of stuff though. Some
things that I intentionally ingored for now are that I/O isn't properly
hooked up (so every print goes to stdout) and the non-editline support
which is not handling a bunch of corner cases. The latter is a matter of
reusing existing code in the Python interpreter.
