lua.tests.checkSetupHook: test lua setup hook for http package

the 'http' package is an interesting one to test because all its lua
files are in a 'http' subfolder, ie., there is no share/lua/5.1/*.lua,
only share/lua/5.1/http/*.lua files unlike most packages. This tests we
can match those subfolders.
