matcher: Match all sources when none is provided.

Nobody wants to set this parameter. It is necessary because the old
API allowed `awful.rules` to be used with random for random matching.

This stopped "really" working between the 3.4 and 3.5 release because
the code started to accumulate "corner case" fixes aligned with the
client properties. v4.0 added more ordering and v4.3 added external
sources. After this, it is unusable with external objects, but
`gears.matcher` handle this use case very well.
