Subject: [PATCH] fix(health, rockspec): accept Lua 5.1+ for luarocks
 compatibility

Previously, lazy.nvim health checks required exactly Lua 5.1, causing
warnings on systems with newer Lua versions (5.2, 5.3, 5.4). This was
unnecessarily restrictive since LuaRocks can run on any Lua version 5.1+
to build packages.

Its true that Neovim plugins must be Lua 5.1 compatible (due to LuaJIT),
but the `--lua-version 5.1` flag tells luarocks to build for 5.1.

After some light testing, I verified a system with Lua 5.4 should be
able to build Lua 5.1-compatible packages just fine.

The key point is that this removes false warnings while maintaining the
same safety guarantees - LuaRocks with any modern Lua version can still
build packages targeting Lua 5.1 compatibility for Neovim.

Closes: #2020
