While we are talking about luarocks changes, I would really like a way
to run test suites from luarocks.

Ideally to run them after install (in order to find install errors),
although I know a lot of test suites are not well designed to do this
and are designed to be run at build time.

Generally it should just be a matter of running a command and getting
a success or fail - common idioms are make test or lua test.lua or
similar. There are some issues I suppose around dependencies, if
something has additional dependencies to run the tests, so we might
need a test dependencies extension too.

Of course this would all be optional, but encouraged...
