[Feature!] Use lux instead of luarocks  #539

@mrcjkb

Description

@mrcjkb
  • We've hit a dead end with luarocks regarding parallel builds:
  • Many users have issues installing or bootstrapping luarocks (mostly on non-Linux systems).
  • It has subtle bugs and development/releases are very slow.

So we've decided to shift our focus to bringing lux up to feature parity with luarocks.
When we have implemented enough for the purpose of managing Neovim plugins, rocks.nvim will switch to rocks instead of luarocks.

This will be a major breaking change that requires a reinstall of rocks.nvim.
But if it goes according to plan, a cleanup+ :Rocks sync will be enough.
Perhaps we can even implement a :Rocks migrate command to automate the upgrade process.
