Allowing instance type styling - like self.xxxxx

[György Solymosi]

I made some modification in LexLua.cxx is included in to allow self.xxxxxx like (instance) styling. So far we couldn't apply style to instance name only followed by a "." and an instance method or attribute name.
The purpose of this modification was to handle this issue improving the transparency, reading of the code.

Please, ignore "is included in" in the original post.

You can either post a patch here or on the SourceForge scintilla
feature tracker for discussion. Personally, I would be interested
in looking at the feature, since I did a lot of recent updates for
LexLua. Some Lua samples for testing the feature would be great.

(Slightly off topic: I was supposed to code a LexLua feature
suggested by Antonio Scuri on the SF tracker but was recently
sidetracked by a peculiarly failing HDD (zero surface error, but
dead slow I/O, RMA'ed). On the upside, I updated MSYS2 and noticed
it now has gcc 7.1.0, will try to do a compile soon.)
