When doing w.shape_bounding = foo on a wibox, the code would first read
shape_bounding from the underlying drawin. This would create a
(possibly) huge cairo image surface that just waits to be collected by
the garbage collector, resulting in increased memory usage.
Fix this by checking the force_forward table first. This tables contains
the names of shape properties. Thus, the evaluation of this statement
gets short-circuited and the property is on the drawin is not read.

I am not sure what exactly goes on in the below bug report, so this will
just paper over the problem. I still think that this patch is a good
idea even when it is not a proper fix, since keyboard layouts are
complicated and so this code should be robust and hard to break.

When gap_single_client is set to 'false', no gap is used when only one
client is shown in a tag. Since the max layout only ever shows one
client at a time it makes sense to apply this setting for this layout
regardless of the actual number of clients in that tag.
Additionally, if the 'master_fill_policy' property is set to
'master_width_factor', then use a gap even if there is only one client
visible and 'gap_single_client' is false.
There were multiple things which stood out to me, as I was trying to setup a simple calendar popup for my textclock:
1.: The functions in https://awesomewm.org/doc/api/classes/awful.widget.calendar_popup.html#Functions were not named correctly (calendar vs calendar_popup) which (naturally) produced an error when used as awful.widget.calendar.month() .
2.: The example for calendar_popup.month() was obviously missing a line (where does the month_calendar come from?) . Resolved by copying the line from the attach-example
3.: The same examples also only refer to the function as calendar.month() which should be changed to awful.widget.calendar_popup.month()
This now runs parse_desktop_file in a protected context so that a single
broken desktop file does not break the whole menubar.
Also, the error message that is produced when a Lua error occurs now
also includes the file name of the .desktop file which we attempted to
parse. This should help quite a lot in debugging.

1. before this patch the "Shift" key(s) to get to Shift-Tab would reset
ncomp already.
2. "Shift-Tab" will come in as "Tab" with mod.Shift typically.
3. cur_pos and ncomp have to get reset in case of going back to the
original entry.
This allows, for example, to imeplement the tag `master_fill_policy`

If an error occurs while a layout is being applied, arrange_lock could

Using `beautiful.get()` has the drawback of not supporting theme
variables set from `rc.lua`. It is also used less often than
direct theme access, making it a bit inconsistent with how other
modules behave.
The return value for this function is used as an index in a table and
Lua does not like nil as an index.
The function that actually looks for icons, find_icon_theme() already
falls back to "hicolor" if it does not find anything via the current
theme, so fix this issue by just falling back to "hicolor" here as well.

Previously, the lgi check used the normal Lua interpreter to check if
lgi is installed. However, nothing ensures/requires that awesome is
built against the same Lua version as the Lua interpreter. This means
that if lgi is only available for some Lua version, then the check could
succeed even though awesome would later fail to start. Also, the check
might have failed even though awesome would not have any problems
finding lgi.
This commit replaces lgi-check.sh by a small C program which does the
same thing. This ensures that the same Lua version is used as awesome
will be using.
There are some places that still use the Lua interpreter: Example tests

This implementes the FIXME added a few commits ago. A new
request::geometry handler turns client requests into normal
lua `c.maximized = true` property changes.
A relatively common problem with awesome is with mixing sticky clients
and the focus history. Once a sticky client ever had the focus, it will
always get the focus after a tag switch. This is because the focus
history is global and the sticky client is always the most recently
focused and currently visible client in the list.
Work around this by discriminating sticky clients: First try to find a
client to focus, but ignore sticky clients. When this does not find
anything, try again, but this time also consider sticky clients.
(Basically the same issue exists with clients that are on multiple tags,
but I guess that one can be ignored.)

Once upon a time, 4b9584fdb1 already fixed this problem: We have to
set the border width to zero before applying the new geometry to the
client, because changing the border width makes the client move
according to its gravity.
Then came e54387904b and made this code use awful.placement instead
of just fullscreening the client itself (without explaining why in the
commit message!). After this commit, the border width was just ignored
and left as-is. This was then fixed in 0bf8bb6a64 (no idea which
callback the commit message refers to, the old code was basically just
c.border_width=0, c:geometry(screen_geo)). However, now the border width
was again changed after the geometry and the bug that was fixed by
4b9584fdb1 was back.
This commit fixes this regression again by making sure that the border
width is set to zero before the geometry is set. This becomes slightly
more complicated, because now it is also awful.placement's job to
restore the old border width.
This is why this commit adds a new option to awful.placement so that it
sets the border width to zero after creating its memento of the old
border width.

There are some cases where a client's floating state "silently" changes.
For example, a fullscreen client will be considered floating. However,
even though c.floating changes its value in this case, we did not emit
the property::floating signal.
Fix this by explicitly tracking the "implicitly floating" state. When
some property that influences this "implicitly floating" state changes,
we update it and if a client which was not explicitly assigned a
floating state observes a change in this value, property::floating is
emitted.
This was tested by running a terminal and two xeyes in a tag with a
tiling layout where awful.ewmh was patched so that clients do not change
their geometry when fullscreening or maximizing. It was observable that
after this patch e.g. the titlebar and the tasklist update to show the
floating state of the client which became implicitly floating due to
being maximized.

This commit changes the systray widget, wibox.drawable and the C code to
fix the following bug: When the systray widget is removed from a
drawable without being moved somewhere else, the systray stayed visible.
This was because the systray is not drawn by awesome, but only placed.
When the widget is no longer "drawn", it stays wherever it was placed
last.
This change works by detecting the situation when the systray is
removed. Then, the C code is specifically told to remove the systray
window from the drawable.
Note that this is only a partial fix. This change works correctly when
the widget is removed completely, because it is no longer placed by its
parent widget. However, for example, when you do
wibox.widget.systray().visible = false, the effect is just that the
systray widget gets size 0x0. This is not really visible, but as far as
this change is concerned, the widget is still part of the drawable.

Before this commit, do this:

This commit fixes that. Awesome wont be confused about it's own
state anymore.
This may seem pointless, but when it come to undoing these
maximizations, it was ambiguous.
Before 4.0, maximizing could only be done in 2 operations.
4.0 add an unified way, but kept doing 2 operations. The old
Lua EWMH code to serialize the 2 operations was dropped when
the codepath was simplified and replaced by a generic version
in awful.placement. However this version never implemented
combining multiple mementos into 1.
This commit unify the maximize C code, drop the ugly macro
template and actually fixes a couple more issues that were
caused because request::geometry was sent twice.
There is already a way to prevent them from moving them, but the
next few commits will remove it. There is no reasons to handle
this differently from fullscreen clients.
The functions awful.client.shape.update.bounding and .clip handle both
the client's shape and the shape set by Lua. However,
awful.client.shape.update.all only handles the shape set by Lua and
ignores the client's own shape. This can easily be noticed with xeyes.
When update.all ran last and you move around xeyes, the wallpaper behind
it is moved along, because it is not actually outside of the window.
Fix this by partly reverting 1a5f6b7ad2 and having update.all just
call the other two functions again.

Up to now, a drawable always figured out the screen that it is on by
looking at its position. This causes memleak-like problems with wibars:
A wibar has a screen assigned, but its underlying drawable will end up
referring to another screen. Via this, we were managing to build a long
reference chain of screens and drawable that meant that none of the fake
screens that our test suite added could be garbage collected.
To fix this, add wibox.drawable._force_screen(s). After this function is
called, the normal screen detection based on the position is skipped and
instead the given screen is always used. This breaks the above reference
chain and things become garbage-collectable.
Also, this chains the drawable to the life time of the screen: When the
screen becomes invalid (.valid == false), the drawable will stop
redrawing.
