issue with completion of "module" command when using lmod

issue with completion of "module" command when using lmod

[Max Voit]

Dear zsh-workers,

when using lmod for "module", Modulefiles have a ".lua" extension. With
the current completion as defined in "_module", this file extension is not
cut off and thus erroneously appears when one tries to load a module:

  module load compiler/GCC/10<TAB>
results in
  module load compiler/GCC/10.2.0.lua
instead of
  module load compiler/GCC/10.2.0

(and "module load compiler/GCC/10.2.0.lua" fails in
  Lmod has detected the following error:  The following module(s) are
  unknown: "compiler/GCC/10.2.0.lua")

The patch below fixes this issue by cutting of the lua-extension.

Best regards,
Max
