The cairo/imlib2/rsvg bindings require tolua++ [1], which is currently only compatible with Lua 5.1 or earlier. We need to force Conky to compile against Lua 5.1 if the user chooses to build the bindings. This commit adds a separate pkg_search_module command specifically for Lua 5.1, along with a note in the documentation. The original pkg_search_module command was updated to include (and prefer) Lua 5.3+. Also, I threw in two other minor random fixes to the docs while I was at it.

- Built-in IMAP and POP3 support.
- Built-in support for many popular music players (MPD, XMMS2, BMPx, Audacious).
