Lua 'Unknown Phase' Error from tikzfeynman.patch.lua

Reported initially by @cm-cc in #11.

Compiling with LuaLaTeX on Ubuntu 15.10 results in an error. The log is here and the error in particular is:

TeXLive was installed through apt-get with TikZ-Feynman installed with tlmgr.

The issue arises because the version of PGF/TikZ v3.0.0, v3.0.1 and v3.0.1a all have a bug which is patched by TikZ-Feynman. It turns out that the patch is actually incompatible with v3.0.0 of TikZ and is only compatible with v3.0.1 and v3.0.1a.

I will develop a patch of v3.0.0 and include it in the next version of TikZ-Feynman.

Until I release the next version, the alternative fix is to upgrade the version of TikZ. If you installed TeXLive through the net installer, you can upgrade to the latest version of TikZ with:

tlmgr update pgf

and if you installed TeXLive with apt-get, then you can get the latest version of TikZ with:

tlmgr --usermode install pgf

or, if it is already installed, you can upgrade it with

tlmgr --usermode update pgf
