Update LUA and wxSQLite3 to latest versions

[grumpy235]

I noticed @whalley has raised the idea of wxWidgets upgrade to 3.1.5 and there is also a suggestion to bring Curl up to date.
Any thoughts on upgrading LUA to 5.4.3 and wxSQLite3 to 4.6.9 ?

I have been running both for a while now on my local copy of mmex on WIN10 using an encrypted database with no problems at all.

Extremely limited Cmake knowlege meant I made the following changes...

For LUA, I changed 3rd/CMakeLists as follows...

1. LUA_COMPAT_5_2 to LUA_COMPAT_5_3
2. Adjust modules to compile
   add lua/ljumptab.h and lua/lopnames.h
   remove lua/lbitlib.c
3. I also commented out some of the Linux stuff as from memory Cmake threw a wobbly and my knowledge of Linux and Cmake meant I could not fix it.

For wxSQLite3, things are bit more complex as encryption has been re-packaged and SQLite is now included in wxSQLite3.

1. MMEX source change #include "sqlite3.h" to #include "sqlite3mc_amalgamation.h" in modules src\dbwrapper.cpp & src\model\Model_Report.cpp - this assumes of course that a version of wxSQLite3 with the new packaging is in use
2. Extensive changes to 3rd/CMakeLists under "if(NOT wxSQLite3_FOUND OR NOT (WXSQLITE3_HAVE_CODEC OR MMEX_ENCRYPTION_OPTIONAL))"
3. I guess the code from "find_package(PkgConfig)" relating to wxSQLite3 might also need some work ??

Just in case it might be useful I have attached my modified 3rd/CMakeLists
CMakeLists.txt

How to update Lua

cd 3rd/Lua
git fetch
git fetch --tags
git checkout v5.4.3
cd ../..
git add 3rd/lua
git commit -m 'Update the Lua to the "v5.4.3" version' 3rd/Lua

This raises the problem of a third-party library that has not been updated for 8 years.

Is this project replacement?

@vomikan Now you remind me I had discovered that when I first upgraded and LUA_COMPAT_5_3 bypassed it for Windows without any further changes. Looking at https://github.com/TheLartians/LuaGlue then Lars has taken his own copy of Lua (commit b1e7a46) which from a comment on the repository will only be updated on an irregular basis - not that there is much going on in Lua any way
