Lua: add ability for scripts loaded from command-line to be passed arguments
This change adds the ability to pass on to lua scripts loaded from the
command-line (tshark or wireshark) additional arguments supplied by the
command-line. This will help us in our testsuites, but also might be
useful for user-created scripts. The additional arguments are passed in
using the '-X' eXtension switch.
