This is inspired to be a correctness fix: The "hints" argument to
notifications is supposed to have type a{sv}, i.e. this maps from string
keys to some generic value. dbus-send does not support this and instead
it sends an argument of type a{ss}, i.e. a mapping from string to
string. This commit fixes this problem and uses the correct type.

The first step of a test is called 20 times before a failure is
diagnosed. Later steps only get five calls to finish. I guess the idea
is that the first step sets everything up and opens all necessary
clients, while later steps then do something with these clients.
However, looking at our existing tests, they are not structured like
that. Later steps open more clients etc.
Since this limit has no negative impact on the run-time of tests, but
only means that failures are detected later, let's just remove this
limit of five calls.

When a string is spawned, the C code has to split this into an array for
the execve() syscall. When an array is given directly, this array does
not need to be transformed in any way. This makes it much more clear
what is actually started.
This commit removes some quotation marks that were previously removed by
the C code. For example,
array:string:1,"four",2,"five",3,"six"
became
array:string:1,four,2,five,3,six
because otherwise the action was called "four" instead of four and the
test failed.

This new test suit add a rather extensive coverage to the "legacy"
notification popups. A few minor bugs have been found and fixed
and we can rest assured that the new spec 1.2 support and extended
manipulation API wont regress existing configs.
This adds require("_date") to some example tests that use the current
date via os.date. This allows reproducibility by replacing os.date()
with a function that uses a static date from $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH. See
commit 9d7eaf0 for more details.

It also add some properties such as `border_width`, `border_color`
and `preferred_alignments`.
It also fix a documentation bug where the `margin_topleft` was called
`margins_topleft`. To conform to the documentation, both are now valid
but one should be removed the next time the API changes.
Fixes#1978
To happen, both of these races have to be lost by client3
* client2 have to take more time to `:kill()` than client3 take
to be spawned.
* client4 have to start faster than client3
It is very unlikely to happen on normal systems, but on server it
happens. Some factor that may or may not be involved
* The scheduler assigned client2 on a very busy CPU and client 3
on a CPU still busy while some other CPUs are idle
* Linux is bad at scheduling hyper-threading
* The system is NUMA and the memory bandwidth is lacking on a core
* There is some "Z" memory compression or drive based swap
* Extreme bad luck
Fix#2424
In the earlier revision of the keygrabber PR, there was a `release_key`
and it was suggested to rename it `stop_key`. However its sibling
`release_event` wasn't, so it is now confusing.
The commit adds a mild deprecation codepath to avoid breaking configs
based on git-master. However it isn't a "long term" deprecation notice
and the code can probably be removed in 5.0 without further delay.
Test that the placement function used in the default configuration
behaves as intended. This test was failing before the no_overlap and
no_offscreen fixes in two previous commits.

The awful.placement.no_offscreen function did not work properly when
composed with other placement functions; in particular, the default
configuration (awful.placement.no_overlap+awful.placement.no_offscreen)
was broken. The compose function sets args.pretend=true and puts the
result of the previous placement function into args.override_geometry
before calling the next placement function, but no_offscreen did not use
args.override_geometry, therefore the result of the previous placement
function was discarded.
All other placement functions use `geometry_common(c, args)` to get the
current client geometry; `area_common(c)` should be used only when
getting geometry of other clients.
This change also fixes the problem with margin handling (adding margins
should not affect the window size, only the window position should
change); the test output which was adjusted in commit 0275d3537d
is adjusted again to account for this change.
