Conversion to Lua by Alex Conconi

Lua porting notes

• The craps_main function contains the main game loop, which iteratively plays craps rounds by calling play_round and tracks winnings and losings.
• Replaced the original routine that tries to scramble the random number generator with a proper seed initializer in Lua: math.randomseed(os.time()) (as advised in the general porting notes).
• Added basic input validation to accept only positive integers for the wager and the answer to the "If you want to play again print 5" question.
• "If you want to play again print 5 if not print 2" reads a bit odd but we decided to leave it as is and stay true to the BASIC original version.
