Luacontroller library enhancements

Libraries can now be registered as a function which will be called when the library is requested. This allows functionality such as libraries that behave differently depending on where the Luacontroller is (for example, a sensor of some sort that only works if the LuaC is next to it) as well as various initialization that the library may need to perform. Supplying a table is still supported and works as before.

+-- Mods can place their own "libraries" in here to be loaded via require() from in a Luacontroller.
+-- These can take two different forms:
+-- Function (recommended for libraries adding new functionality): A function that, when called, returns something that will be passed to the LuaC code.
+-- Function signature is getlibrary(env, pos) where 'env' is the environment that the Luacontroller code is running in, and 'pos' is the position of the controller.
+-- Table (recommended for libraries containing mostly lookup tables): A table that will be copied, and the copy returned to the LuaC code.
+-- When using the table format, any functions in the table will have their environment changed to that of the Luacontroller.
