When building a Lua C module (cdylib with the `module` feature) on macOS, the linker fails with undefined symbols for the Lua API. This is because macOS requires explicit `-undefined dynamic_lookup` to allow unresolved symbols in shared libraries — unlike Linux which permits them by default. The build script already had platform-specific handling for Windows (raw-dylib linking). This adds the equivalent for macOS, passing the required linker flags so that Lua symbols are resolved at load time from the host interpreter. Fixes the issue reported in mlua-rs#625.

Fixes the issue reported in #625 -- I didn't find that PR until after I fixed it because it's closed, do you mind putting it in the source?
