This commit makes all C code that previously returned a screen index now return
a screen object, continuing the deprecation of screen indicies. Note that this
is an API break and will likely cause all kinds of problems for users.
The change also breaks some tests which are suitably fixed in this commit.

Instead of focusing the root window, we now create a "focus window" inside of
our frame window. This window is placed so that it is not visible, but we can
grab key bindings on it to simulate the window having the input focus.

Right now this just always returns the first screens, but this can easily be
implemented properly later.

Even when a screen is just an integer, the code becomes a bit more
self-documenting. Even better, if we start to handle screen objects to Lua
instead of screen indicies, there will only be one place that needs to be
changed.

When we manage the transient before the main window, the client object's
.transient_for property would stay nil. This happens because the property points
to a window which we don't know (yet) and thus is ignored.
Fix this by remembering the value of WM_TRANSIENT_FOR and checking in
client_manage() if the new client is the "missing window we did not find
before".

This creates a new helper function for setting the transient_for property of a
client. This is a preparation for a following commit. No behaviour changes
intended.

To quote from ICCCM (§4.1.2): "The window manager will not change properties
written by the client."
We tried to do this anyway to update WM_HINTS so that the current urgency state
is reflected. Apparently, Chrome does a similar read-modify-set cycle and the
resulting race condition meant that the "accepts input" hint on Chromium's
window was permanently disabled.
This helps with https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/issues/670, but I still
think that Chrome shouldn't try to implement "please don't focus me when I do
the following" by temporarily claiming "please don't ever focus me".

E.g. trying to press mouse button 1.5 via root.fake_input() doesn't make sense.
Previously the code silently truncated the number to an integer. Now it
complains about this instead.

The only remaining calls are for a window's opacity and in the DBus type
handling. Everything else wants integers, not something with a comma.

ICCCM specifies when the WM has to send a ConfigureNotify. Java does not care
and wants one all the time. Meh.

This allow layout "arrange" to be called less often and react on
the cause of the change itself rather than it's consequences
(usually, the "focus" signal).
Previously, the layout were re-arranged everytime the focus changed.
Now, with "raised" and "lowered", it require less "arrange".
"swapped" allow smarted layouts. Currently, swapped cause a full
re-arrange. It re-read the "index" list from scratch and create
a "new" layout. With "swapped", incremental layout changes are
possible.

When a client is unmanaged, we know emit mouse::leave on its titlebar before the
client object is invalidated, so that Lua can still work with it. Before, this
event was emitted only when we got a LeaveNotify from the X11 server.

luaA_warn() prints a Lua backtrace and thus generates more useful output. warn()
should only be used in awesome-internal places (e.g. receiving an error from the
X11 server).

Some words about X11 event handling: Every X11 client can select input on any
window. For this, inside the X11 server each window has for each client a
bitmask for the kind of events that this client is interested in. When a mouse
button is pressed inside of a window, a corresponding event is generated for
that window and sent to all X11 clients which asked for
XCB_EVENT_MASK_BUTTON_PRESS. When no client is interested in this event, the
event is propagated to the parent window and the same procedure is done again
here. This continues up until the root window is reached.
Some words about the event masks that awesome uses: For clients, we ask for
button press events on the frame window that we reparent the client window into
so that we get any kind of press on the titlebar (and also events inside of the
client window if the client itself doesn't care for click events?). We are also
interested in button presses / releases on the root window. However, before this
commit, we didn't actually ask for button events on drawins (e.g. the wibox).
This worked fine, because no one asked for these events and the event propagated
to the root window where it was then sent to awesome.
However, newer Qt versions do something weird and the above broke. I don't
actually know what is going on. I know about the above propagation rules, but
looking at protocol traces of what Qt does, awesome should still get the button
events. During startup, Qt asks for button events on its own windows. After a
hotplug event, it asks the same again, but now also includes the root window.
So... how can Qt asking for button events on the root window cause awesome not
to get them? I have no idea.
(And yes, I guess that Qt asking for mouse events on the root window is a bug,
but I have no idea how exactly this happens nor about any other side effects of
it).
This commit makes us ask for button events on our drawins so that the server
will send them to us. This is the right thing to do anyway and it was reported
to have some positive effects.

The only exception is the window for _NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK. That window
already had a _NET_WM_NAME property before and doesn't get a WM_NAME property in
this commit. I just decided for myself that it doesn't need one. :-)
Right after startup with the default config we now have the following situation:
$ xwininfo -root -tree
xwininfo: Window id: 0x2d7 (the root window) (has no name)
Root window id: 0x2d7 (the root window) (has no name)
Parent window id: 0x0 (none)
7 children:
0x200011 "Awesome drawin": ("awesome" "awesome") 1500x20+0+0 +0+0
0x200010 "Awesome drawin": ("awesome" "awesome") 1x1+0+0 +0+0
0x20000d "Awesome drawin": ("awesome" "awesome") 100x30+0+0 +0+0
0x20000a "Awesome no input window": ("awesome" "awesome") 1x1+-1+-1 +-1+-1
0x200009 "Awesome systray window": ("awesome" "awesome") 1x1+-1+-1 +-1+-1
0x200008 "awesome": ("awesome" "awesome") 1x1+-1+-1 +-1+-1
0x200007 "Awesome WM_Sn selection owner window": ("awesome" "awesome") 1x1+-1+-1 +-1+-1
One of those drawin is the awful.wibox. Another drawin is created by awful.menu.
I guess that the third one is created by awful.tooltip, but I'm not sure. Wow,
so many windows...

This is an enhancement to make non-ASCII symbol keys usable for
implementation and configuration of Awesome.
The enhancement was proposed and had been developed under the
initiative of Daniel Hahler. Thanks to his sharing of his results with our
community, we gradually deepened our understanding on the issue. This
commit is the fruit his enthusiasm spawned.
Closes https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/538.
Before this, we grabbed the keys on the frame window. That meant we only got key
events for things that nothing else grabbed directly on the key window.
After this, we grab directly on the client window itself and so we "fight" with
everything else which wants to grab keys. I don't actually know how the winner
is decided... First come, first serve, the rest gets an error?
