repos: search for "foo" in manifest when processing "foo.init"

Older versions of LuaRocks (< 3) registered "foo.init" files as "foo"
(which caused problems, so that behavior was changed). But look for that
in the manifest anyway for backward compatibility.

See https://github.com/luarocks/luarocks/commit/65c417e0ecda55f44c691df032163a8c08f0b52a
See #1276.
