These are supposed to eventually replace the already-existing functions
in gears.surface which have a similar signature

luaL_dostring(L, s) is a macro that expands to
luaL_loadstring(L,s)||lua_pcall(L,0,LUA_MULTRET,0). Then,
lua_pcall(L,n,r,f) sometimes (since Lua 5.3?) is a macro that expands to
lua_pcallk(L,n,r,f,0,NULL), but can sometimes also just be a function.
Explaining all the above would make this section more complicated and
apparently no one uses this hint anyway, because no one told us yet that
this hint does not work.

In awesome 3.5, the default themes set a global variable called "theme".
This was, I think, not intentional and we changed this when luacheck
found this issue. However, the "my first awesome" document from the old
wiki made use of this fact and so many people were using this hack. This
commit fixes our copy of "my first awesome".

This is a follow-up to 052cda939b. Expressions like 's.index == 2'
and 's == screen.primary' might work at first. However, they are not
"dynamic": If screens are added/removed or the primary screen changes,
then the widgets are not updated to follow this.
Instead, the example now uses the new awful.widget.only_on_screen
container which provides the needed dynamic behaviour.
This is arguably "the real fix" to #1562 and #1565.

ldoc formatting has problems with code block lines that start with
spaces. use non-blocking-space (unicode 0xa0) as a work around.

- added note that `awesome.quit` must be wrapped in an anonymous
function when used as a menu command.
- corrected tasklist diff to include missing lines from rc.lua. the
porting guide code doesn't make much sense otherwise.
- cleaned up diff columns on a couple other code blocks.

Some `+` and `-` were missing because it re-indented the content
based on the first code line. It then truncated whatever was
below.
Pushing this to master because Ubuntu/Z, Debian/Sid and Arch just
upgraded to 4.0 and angry reports are coming in *fast*.
io.open returns nil, an error message and an error code on failure. This
perfectly fits assert which will make the script fail with the error
message. Previously it would fail with "attempted to index a nil value".

This adds a short text with some hopefully helpful pointers to the top
of the index.html generated by ldoc.

This document is based on the "my first awesome"-page in the old wiki.
Large parts of it are taken almost verbatim from it while others were
handled more freely. For example, instead of referring to the man page
for an overview of the available key bindings, this now mentions Mod4+S.
The "Add widgets"-section is just a todo. The wiki page refers to
Vicious which does not really work for our api documentation. However, I
also didn't want to just drop this part.
