Lua: Overhaul events

1. `Events` global is replaced with `require('devilutionx.events')`.
2. Table is simplified and documented.
3. `On` removed from the event names as it was a bit redundant.
4. Functions are camelCase for consistency (e.g. `add` instead of
   `Add`).

Example script:

```lua
local events = require("devilutionx.events")
local render = require("devilutionx.render")
local message = require("devilutionx.message")

local function greet()
  message("Hello from " .. _VERSION)
  print("Hello from ", _VERSION)
end
events.GameStart.add(greet)

local function drawGreet()
  render.string("Hello from " .. _VERSION, 10, 40)
end
events.GameDrawComplete.add(drawGreet)
```
