This adds gears.screen which contains a wrapper around
screen.connect_signal("added", func) that also calls the callback function for
each screen that already exists. This is added in gears.screen so that it can
also be used from e.g. wibox, if needed. Feel free to move this elsewhere if
that's a bad idea (I'm not really convinced of it).

Instead of using a special _call field on gears.matrix instances which has to be
copied around suitably, this commit changes the code so that the magic is
restricted to a single function in gears.shape.transform. With some metatable
magic, suitable redirection to everything is added.

Useful when using dynamic tags. The tags will be closed once
it is empty. This was part of Tyrannical for many years, but is
generally useful for other workflows too.
local t = awful.tag.add("my_tag",{volatile=true, screen=2})
awful.spawn("ayapp", {tag=t})
Any signal on a screen instance is also emitted on the screen class, so the here
can just connect to the screen class.

Signals on instances are also emitted on the class and thus we can just connect
to the signal on the class here.

This code works just fine with non-integer table keys. Also, this is used by
awful.screen.focus_bydirection() and thus will be used with screen objects
instead of screen indicies when we get rid of screen indicies.

This makes it possible to have the systray only visible on the primary screen,
which is the new default value. This also makes it possible to configure
directly on which screen the systray should be visible.
This breaks the API in the sense that people who use "the old method" to
configure the systray's screen possibly don't have a systray.

There's no point in having multiple instances of this, because there are no
per-instance settings and the systray can only be visible in a single place at a
time anyway.

* Better widget names when using the declarative syntax
* Add ratio.get_ratio to avoid using the private API
* Also support `set_widget` when swapping widgets
