awesome: add build option jit
Enables users to build `awesome` with `LuaJIT`.

Change log:
- `lgi`: rename to `lua-lgi`, create alternative group `lgi`
- New package: `lua51-lgi` (dependencies for `awesome` running with `LuaJIT`)
- `./xbps-src pkg awesome -o jit`, this option is disabled by default.
