Build luasocket 3.1.0 and luasec 1.3.2 as Linux shared objects matching the bundled lua files, compiled against LuaJIT 2.1 headers (Lua 5.1 ABI, as shipped with the native Linux build of X4). OpenSSL 3.5 (LTS) is linked statically into ssl.so because the Steam Linux Runtime container does not provide libssl at run time. init.lua now picks the platform-specific library extension (.dll/.so) via package.config. Windows behaviour is unchanged. build-linux.sh reproduces the Linux binaries from upstream sources. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

What
Makes this library work on the native Linux build of X4 (tested on Arch/CachyOS, X4 7.x via Steam Linux Runtime), while leaving Windows behaviour unchanged. Closes #1
lua/luasocket/core.so,lua/luasocket/mime.so,lua/luasec/ssl.so: LuaSocket 3.1.0 and LuaSec 1.3.2 built from the upstream sources (matching the bundled lua files), compiled against LuaJIT 2.1 headers (Lua 5.1 ABI). The native Linux build of X4 shipslibluajit-5.1.so.2, so the modules are left with undefinedlua_*symbols that resolve against the game process at load time — the standard approach for Lua C modules on Linux.ssl.so: the game runs inside the Steam Linux Runtime container, which does not providelibsslat run time, so dynamic linking against the host OpenSSL fails withlibssl.so.3: cannot open shared object file. After static linking,ssl.soonly depends onlibc.lua/init.lua: picks the platform-specific library extension (.dll/.so) viapackage.config.build-linux.sh: reproduces the Linux binaries from upstream sources (LuaSocket/LuaSec git tags + OpenSSL release tarball).Testing
