Peter Kokot e83f322938 FindLua*: Update documentation
This updates FindLua, FindLua50, and FindLua51 modules:

- Added examples section.
- Synced module documentation with other similar find modules.
- Added notes about Lua 5.0 and 5.1 branches being obsolete and newer
  version should be used with the FindLua module.
- For the example of including Lua headers the angled includes are now
  used instead of quoted style. Angled brackets are more convenient
  for system and such dependencies as they indicate that include
  directories have priority over local files found in the current
  directory by the compiler.
- Removed mentioning CMake 2.x for version variables being introduced as
  these are now being cleaned in the CMake 4 documentation (CMake docs
  are at this point considering the 2.8.12.2 as the initial state upon
  which new and changed items are documented through versions - at least
  for modules).
- `<PackageName>_FOUND` variables used (since CMake 3.3), the uppercased
  `<PACKAGENAME>_FOUND` are also set to the same value.

FindLua51
---------
.. note::
This module is specifically for Lua version branch 5.1, which is obsolete and
not maintained anymore. In new code use the latest supported Lua version and
the version-agnostic module :module:`FindLua` instead.
Finds the Lua library. Lua is a embeddable scripting language.
When working with Lua, its library headers are intended to be included in
project source code as:
.. code-block:: c
#include <lua.h>
and not:
.. code-block:: c
#include <lua/lua.h>
This is because, the location of Lua headers may differ across platforms and may
exist in locations other than ``lua/``.
Result Variables
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This module defines the following variables:
``Lua51_FOUND``
Boolean indicating whether Lua is found. For backward compatibility, the
``LUA51_FOUND`` variable is also set to the same value.
``LUA_VERSION_STRING``
The version of Lua found.
Cache Variables
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The following cache variables may also be set:
``LUA_INCLUDE_DIR``
The directory containing the Lua header files, such as ``lua.h``,
``lualib.h``, and ``lauxlib.h``, needed to use Lua.
``LUA_LIBRARIES``
Libraries needed to link against to use Lua.
Examples
^^^^^^^^
Finding the Lua 5.1 library and creating an interface :ref:`imported target
<Imported Targets>` that encapsulates its usage requirements for linking to a
project target:
.. code-block:: cmake
find_package(Lua51)
if(Lua51_FOUND AND NOT TARGET Lua51::Lua51)
add_library(Lua51::Lua51 INTERFACE IMPORTED)
set_target_properties(
Lua51::Lua51
PROPERTIES
INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES "${LUA_INCLUDE_DIR}"
INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES "${LUA_LIBRARIES}"
)
endif()
target_link_libraries(project_target PRIVATE Lua51::Lua51)
