- Add changes entry for new Lua shared_ptr support.
- Rename director_smartptr test to director_shared_ptr.
- Reimplement cpp11_shared_ptr test cases so that they are run by all
languages (in common.mk instead of being in chosen language's Makefile.in files).
This makes sure missing tests are run by all languages that support
shared_ptr.
