There are multiple compiled rock types `*.src.rock` is just one.
* `*.src.rock` denotes a source archive
* `*.all.rock` is for all platforms (pure Lua)
* platform specific ones like `*.win32.rock` (contains binaries)

Added common ignore globs for Lua, an extensible, high-performace, lightweight multi-paradigm language designed for embedded scripting.

The de-facto package manager for Lua is LuaRocks.

- LuaRocks creates a number of files as part of the build process. These are ignored (*.src.rock, *.tar.gz, *.zip)
- Lua modules are conventionally written in C as shared libraries. Common build artifacts for C projects copied from C.gitignore
