Previous instructions no longer work for a multitude of reasons outlined in exercism/support#80
LuaRocks is notoriously difficult to set up on Windows, and many Rocks are not compatible regardless.
Chocolatey as used in previous instructions only installed LuaRocks, but no C compiler, and doesn't know how to configure such a compiler to work with LuaRocks even if it did install one, et cetera.
These new instructions, unfortunately, require Windows 10, since they rely on Windows Subsystem for Linux, but I believe it's by far the easiest way to get Busted running on a Windows 10 machine.
I don't have any good answers for what to tell Windows 7 users.
