John MacFarlane ee2f0021f9 Add interface for custom readers written in Lua. (#7671)
New module Text.Pandoc.Readers.Custom, exporting
readCustom [API change].

Users can now do `-f myreader.lua` and pandoc will treat the
script myreader.lua as a custom reader, which parses an input
string to a pandoc AST, using the pandoc module defined for
Lua filters.

A sample custom reader can be found in data/reader.lua.

Closes #7669.

-- A sample custom reader for a very simple markup language.
-- This parses a document into paragraphs separated by blank lines.
-- This is _{italic} and this is *{boldface}
-- This is an escaped special character: \_, \*, \{, \}
-- == text makes a level-2 heading
-- That's it!
-- For better performance we put these functions in local variables:
local P, S, R, Cf, Cc, Ct, V, Cs, Cg, Cb, B =
lpeg.P, lpeg.S, lpeg.R, lpeg.Cf, lpeg.Cc, lpeg.Ct, lpeg.V,
lpeg.Cs, lpeg.Cg, lpeg.Cb, lpeg.B
local whitespacechar = S(" \t\r\n")
local specialchar = S("_*{}\\")
local escapedchar = P"\\" * specialchar
/ function (x) return string.sub(x,2) end
local wordchar = (P(1) - (whitespacechar + specialchar)) + escapedchar
local spacechar = S(" \t")
local newline = P"\r"^-1 * P"\n"
local blanklines = newline * spacechar^0 * newline^1
local endline = newline - blanklines
