Description
## Context
Part of #313. `plugin-scripts` wants every submodule to expose a `ScriptTrigger` and a `CommandsTrigger`, so a flow can be triggered whenever the underlying script/commands execution completes, with an **exit condition** deciding whether the trigger fires based on the result (e.g. only on failure).
`plugin-script-lua` is missing both. Existing implementations in `plugin-script-go`, `plugin-script-node`, `plugin-script-python`, `plugin-script-ruby`, and `plugin-script-shell` (same package as the task classes, no nested subpackage) can be used as a reference.
## What to implement
### 1. `ScriptTrigger`
- Triggers when `io.kestra.plugin.scripts.lua.Script` execution completes.
- Emits an event containing: command executed, arguments, env (if available), exit code, stdout/stderr (if capture enabled), and contextual metadata (execution id, namespace, flow id).
### 2. `CommandsTrigger`
- Triggers when `io.kestra.plugin.scripts.lua.Commands` execution completes.
- Emits an event containing: commands executed (or the matched one), exit code(s), stdout/stderr if available, and contextual metadata (execution id, namespace, flow id).
## Trigger configuration requirements
Each trigger should accept at least:
- `commandPattern` (string / regex / glob)
- `argumentsPattern` (optional)
- `exitCondition` (string expression — can match on exit code, output, or a literal condition)
## Example YAML
```yaml
triggers:
- id: on_lua_fail
type: io.kestra.plugin.scripts.lua.ScriptTrigger
commandPattern: ".*"
exitCondition: "exitCode != 0"
triggers:
- id: on_lua_commands
type: io.kestra.plugin.scripts.lua.CommandsTrigger
commandPattern: ".*"
exitCondition: "exitCode == 0"
```

Research direction
Compare the ScriptTrigger and CommandsTrigger implementations in plugin-script-go, plugin-script-node, plugin-script-python, plugin-script-ruby, and plugin-script-shell, which are in the same package as their task classes. Add the corresponding triggers for the Lua Script and Commands tasks, including the listed configuration and event metadata, then verify their behavior against the issue's YAML examples.
