Subject: Lua: add methods `insert`, `remove`, and `sort` to pandoc.List

The functions `table.insert`, `table.remove`, and `table.sort` are added
to pandoc.List elements.  They can be used as methods, e.g.

    local numbers = pandoc.List {2, 3, 1}
    numbers:sort()     -- numbers is now {1, 2, 3}
