Recursively check Lua files not ending in .lua about luacheck HOT 5 CLOSED

@dirkfeytons so you propose that if --include-files is used, it should override check for extension when recursing into directories? Seems reasonable. For now you can use find and xargs, e.g. find -name '*.map' | xargs luacheck.

@mpeterv: Yeah; I was kind of expecting that I could specify a directory to start from and that with --include-files I could specify which files to actually check.

I can let the shell do the globbing but it's a lot of files and I want to avoid hitting the limits of the amount of arguments I can pass. I want to do the checking with one invocation of luacheck so I have one JUnit test report covering everything. But I can work around it for now.

@dirkfeytons I've implemented this on master branch, can you check that it does what you want?

0.13.0 released with this fixed.

@mpeterv: now that the holiday period is over I finally got around to trying your change. I can confirm I can now easily do what I wanted; thanks!
