This layout display the widgets on top of each other. It can also optionally
display only the first one.
The most common use case is to create a composited widget. Other use case
include the creation of a "paged" stack to only display the most
relevant widget without adding extra complexity to the parent layout.
This new syntax is inspired by the Awesome widget 3.2-3.4 API. It
allow cleaner widgets declaration. The produced code is usually much
shorted and easier to read than wibox.widget imperative syntax.
There is already a hack into `awful.widget.common`. This system aim
to make the hack obselete while preserving the useful part.
I think this is also necessary to properly support SVG (with DPI
and resize).
Finally, Qt handle this using the QBrush concept, where you can have
programmatic patterns. Cairo doesn't have this concept, so there is no
"clean" way to have programmatic brushes.
ICCCM specifies when the WM has to send a ConfigureNotify. Java does not care
and wants one all the time. Meh.

Until now, this layout was "append only". There was no official
APIs to remove, replace, insert and swap widgets. This is fine
for the usual wibox + sensors widget used by the majority of
users, but lack flexibility necessary to use the layout system
to place dynamic elements such as clients.
The methods introduced by this commit are also recursive. This
allow widgets to be decorated, wrapped and splitted without
having to add boilerplate code everywhere.
This remove duplicated code and will allow more "collection"
style layouts to be implemented without logic duplication.
This commit also do some small cleanup to remove duplicated
code now present in `awful.util`.

Go around a limitation of the lua language spec. The return value
of this method guaranteed `ipairs()` correctness.
Please note that both the official Lua and Luajit implementation
provide a sparse table compatible `ipairs()` and __len implementation
by default.
It is an internal API and is used by `gears.shape`, `gears.pattern`
and `gears.composition` only.
This commit also add `:rotate_at` and `:copy` methods.
Via this commit, any warnings from LDoc are fatal and make "make" fail. The
intention is to cause failures on Travis for PRs that introduce broken
documentation.

This also removes some obsolete dependencies and it also and creates
`/usr/bin/lua` even when using luajit. Without this, our lgi-check.sh
script complains about a missing lgi installation because it cannot find
a lua binary.

A quote from the XKeyboard specification:
The server notifies interested clients of keyboard map changes in one of two
ways. It sends XkbMapNotify to clients that have explicitly selected them and
core protocol MappingNotify events to clients that have not. Once a client
requests XkbMapNotify events, the server stops sending it MappingNotify events
to inform it of keyboard changes.
This commit moves the code that we had for handling MappingNotify events to the
place where we handle XkbMapNotify events. This might even fix some bugs where
parts of awesome continued to use old key binding "stuff"!
