Research direction

Start by examining how the current Lua 5.1 formatter is integrated into vim-codefmt, then review Lcf and its supported Lua versions. Done means Lcf is added as an available formatter and works for the Lua versions it supports.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The only lua formatter currently included is specifically for Lua 5.1, which is not the latest version.
Lcf works for all lua versions, hence I suggest to add it to vim-codefmt.
