The LuaTeX manual vs. LMTX

[Johannes Hielscher]

@Wolfgang: Many thanks! I indeed can build the LuaTeX manual fine, with
either explicit flag at invocation time, or by adding the engine
selection preamble comment (like added to the downstream copy of this
document in mid-2020 [1]).


@Norbert, Karl, pretesters: Success report for:
* TL pretest installation on x86_64-linux
* `tlmgr platform add aarch64-linux` (it complains about missing biber,
  but that's another story)
* compilation of various documents (among them the LuaTeX manual),
  using the AArch64 binaries from GitHub Actions on real hardware.

These patches haven't found their way into upstream?
