[physfs] Lua Bindings

[Daniel Aquino]

Then the user can chose to alias io to physfs modle or disable  
io:....   Of course your physefs should look like the io module  
then...   But do you really io could properly be re done using  
physfs?  I think the code would still need to be aware unless it uses  
all relative paths and understands that it can't access the real fs as  
normal
