Eluna Module Updates: Lua Version and Static Linking Support

Recent updates to the Eluna module in AzerothCore introduce new configuration options to manage Lua versions and static linking:

• -DLUA_VERSION=luajit/lua52/lua53/lua54: Select the Lua version for the module, supporting LuaJIT, Lua 5.2, 5.3, or 5.4.
• -DLUA_STATIC=on/off: Configure whether Lua should be linked statically or dynamically.

These options allow flexible Lua integration, building on Eluna's existing capabilities to handle different Lua versions. The changes also improve compatibility and performance by enabling static linking where needed.

Integration with Eluna

This functionality extends Eluna's existing support for Lua compatibility, mainly in ElunaCompat.cpp, which handles Lua version-specific interactions. These updates enhance Eluna’s adaptability for various Lua configurations in AzerothCore.

For testing you need to test with this PR : azerothcore/azerothcore-wotlk#21123
