[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Change Lua syntax highlighting (#2485)

I didn't like how geany highlights things in lua code which are undefined unless the user defines them:
```lua
messages = {
	floor = "You can walk on it",
	ceiling = "It's above you",
	type = "type should also not be highlighted here",
}
```

I have removed some keywords which are undefined in Lua; it's a simple change, so `type` in the above example and other things are still highlighted even when they shouldn't.
#
Add goto to the basic functions
Remove math and os fields; for example, still highlight math.sin but not sin because sin is not defined by default.
I did not remove fields which are methods, so for example read is still highlighted so that it is shown in myfile:read()
