Note : I checked a more recent version of lua, the #include <sys/types.h> is included upstream...

lua52: add fix for Tiger

this fix is already in lua53+ and
builds on all systems tested
closes: #55816

Thanks! FYI patch needed to be adjusted to work with MacPorts' default patchlevel setting.

FYI, for more Tiger-related fixes, you might want to check out <​https://github.com/kencu/TigerPorts>. I've been collecting suitable patches and fixes that relate to Tiger, and if appropriate, will try to integrate as many of them into MacPorts main repo as seem reasonable.
