I have no idea why this needs collectgarbage() to be called twice.
On the other hand, I can explain the change in tooltip.lua. Lua 5.2 introduced
"ephermeron tables". This means that in the following sitation, lua 5.2 can
collect the entry from the table, while 5.1 keeps the entry alive, because the
table has a strong reference to the value and that in turn has a strong
reference to the key:
t = setmetatable({}, { __mode = "k"})
do
local k = {}
t[k] = function() print(k) end
end
collectgarbage("collect")
print(next(t, nil))
To handle this incompatibility, this commit just removes the whole indirection
through the module-level variable "data".

Apparently some of the last commits speeds up create_wibox() a lot. This
highlights that this is a bad test: After creating thousands of wiboxes, awesome
needed 15 seconds to draw all of them and in the end some dbus timeout aborted
the test run.
However, it's irrelevant how quickly we can create wibox. The interesting number
is how quickly we can display a new wibox. Thus, this commits changes the code
so that it also measures the time that is needed to update the wibox. This way,
we don't accumulate a huge number of pending repaints and everything's fine.
Some results (but there is nothing to compare this with):
create&draw wibox: 0.0373947 sec/iter ( 28 iters, 1.59 sec for benchmark)
update textclock: 0.00198174 sec/iter (515 iters, 1.937 sec for benchmark)
relayout textclock: 0.000614439 sec/iter (1710 iters, 1.051 sec for benchmark)
redraw textclock: 0.00116882 sec/iter (865 iters, 2.962 sec for benchmark)
tag switch: 0.000705579 sec/iter (1498 iters, 3.703 sec for benchmark)

This commit does two things: It gets rid of the reference to the layoutbox that
the default config created and it changes the widget dependency cache to not
keep widgets alive unnecessarily.

Again, instead of directly connecting to various signals for updating a
tasklist, this commit changes the code so that there is just a single, global
connections and based on this a weak table with all tasklist instances is used
do the updates.

Similar to what the previous commit does for layoutboxes, this changes the code
for the taglist so that there is only a single, global connection to the various
signals and these update all taglists via weak tables.

This (ab)uses the integration tests to run a benchmark. This currently only
measures wibox drawing performance. To avoid wasting CPU-cycles, this does only
a quick run under travis while on "normal" runs the function under test is
executed in a loop to improve the precision of the measurement.
This benchmarks hopefully allow to optimize things in a clear fashion instead of
things like "it feels faster to me".

This tried to use awful, but didn't load awful itself. Kids, this is why you
should make your variables local!

When using Xephyr, this already starts the server with -noreset, but for Xvfb we
also need this flag. Without this flag, the DPI value that is set via xrdb gets
lost at server reset.
This wasn't a problem before commit 6d4837a53a. That commit moved the launch
of the dbus session after the setting of the DPI. So previously, waiting for
server startup was half broken (the dbus session already tried to connect to the
server to check for when it shuts down), but due to this no server reset
occurred and thus the DPI was correctly applied. After this commit, the server
immediately resets after xrdb is done setting the DPI and the value set is lost.

This factors out a function wait_until_success that runs some command until it
succeeds (with a timeout) and uses this function in the two places where this
was already done before.
Note that this removes the "kill -0" trick for early exit again and instead will
use the timeout in case awesome dies during startup.

When this script is not run under Travis, it will prepare a temporary config
file and a theme file that point to the files that were not yet installed.

The code does some dances with xrdb to ensure that the server finished starting
up. However, before this it already tries to access the server via dbus-launch.
Since nothing uses dbus in this part of the code, we can just move this down.

I tried calling this script with "tests/foo.lua" as an argument, but it actually
expects "foo.lua" since it changes into the appropriate directory itself.
Because this file does not exist, "cat $f | awesome-client" failed and thus this
whole script just hung (the test runner was never actually started).
Fix this by testing for the test-file to exist before trying to run it.
