GLib has an internal pseudo-RNG that it initialises from /dev/urandom.
This commit adds code that uses this RNG to initialise various random
number generators that can be used by Lua.
This also removes some Lua code that initialises the random number
generator badly.

In Lua 5.1, xpcall() has exactly two arguments: The function to call and
the error handler. Everywhere else, xpcall() passes extra arguments on
to the function to call. This includes LuaJIT, however since LuaJIT sets
_VERSION to "Lua 5.1", so far gears.protected_call used the workaround
for Lua 5.1 here.
This commit switches gears.protected_call to actually test for this
feature instead of just guessing based on _VERSION. Thus, this now also
uses the better code with LuaJIT.

When calling join with e.g. arguments (nil, {"a"}), then everything past
the nil was ignored, because the code internally used ipairs() to
iterate over the arguments and this stops at the first nil it
encounters.
Fix this by using select() to iterate over the arguments.
This also adds a unit test for this problem.

`pairs` order isn't defined and `{...}` will always be ordered.
There is no reason to have random behavior where it can be
predicted at no additional cost.
This now does directly what previously awesome.load_image() did. Also,
this commit removes the only caller of awesome.load_image(), so that
function could (in theory) be removed now.

This function draws the wanted shape to a cairo image surface and then
uses it to set the shape of the passed-in object. After this commit,
this temporary image is finished afterwards, making it free most of its
memory immediately instead of only later when the garbage collector
collects the image surface.

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
(run through the Lua interpreter directly) and unit tests (run through
busted). For unit tests, this should not make much of a difference and
example tests might later get similar treatment.

This marks the functions gears.surface.widget_to_svg() and
gears.surface.widget_to_surface() as deprecated in awesome 5. This means
that by the time that awesome 6 becomes a thing, we can finally remove
these...

Regression in v4.1. It causes the `rc.lua` (and the fallback) to
exit when the wallpaper is missing or something went wrong.
In <= 4.0, the wallpaper wasn't loaded, but Awesome didn't "crash".
There should be no asserts in the code called during the first
event loop iteration.
The longer name is a bit more self-explanatory. The plural is meant to
indicate that this recursively creates missing parent directories and
does not just try to create the single given target directory.
Since filesystem.mkdir() is part of the v4.1 release, a deprecation stub
is needed.

This makes get_cache_dir() try to ensure the cache directory that it
returns exists.
