[JW Lua] Requesting extended Lua code features in 0.68

Starting with RGP Lua 0.68, various security measures are now in place.
These allow users of a script to see which extended features are being used
by the script. If the script hasn't requested them, even required libraries
that may not be visible by reading the script will be restricted from
calling the extended functions.

The goal of the security measures, as always, is to make it more difficult
for a malicious script to run without the knowledge or consent of the user.
It is not foolproof, but it is better than nothing.

If your scripts uses extended features (such as os.execute), please read
the following page:
