Subject: Finish the hard parts of the lua makeover

- bundle luarocks source in the panto binary
- bootstrap process (intended for first `panto` run):
  - make ~/.local/share/panto/...
  - write out luarocks sources into it
  - run luarocks to install luv
- new `panto bootstrap` command just runs the bootstrap
- `panto bootstrap --force` removes everything and re-bootstraps
- new `panto lua` command just runs panto's embedded lua

+//! Resolve the absolute path of the currently running executable.
+//!
+//! Used to find the panto binary so we can launch ourselves as `panto
+//! lua` from inside the bootstrap (the embedded luarocks shells out to
+//! its configured `LUA` interpreter, which we point at a wrapper script
+//! that exec's panto's `lua` subcommand).
+//!
+//! Zig's standard library doesn't expose a portable `selfExePath` in
+//! the current API, so this module wraps the per-OS syscall.
+//!
+//! Supported:
+//!   - macOS / iOS / tvOS / watchOS: `_NSGetExecutablePath` + realpath
+//!   - Linux: `readlink("/proc/self/exe")`
+//!   - FreeBSD / NetBSD / DragonFly: `readlink("/proc/curproc/file")`
+//!
+//! Other targets currently return `error.SelfExePathUnavailable`.
