Previously, a Lua error was thrown when loading a file failed. Most callers are
not prepared for this and the result is less than optimal.
This commit makes the functions print the errors and return nil instead. For
callers that want to handle errors themselves, "_silent" variants of the
functions are introduced which just return errors to the caller.

Having many arguments can easily get confusing and hard to understand. This
commit uses a table instead so that we have names that identify what each
callback does.

Without this fix `wibox.widget.textbox` ignores current theme font
setting and resets it to the initial one.
It becomes handy when the initial theme is tweaked during runtime, ie.
in `rc.lua`. Other AwesomeWM components like `awful` (taglist,
tasklist, menu) are aware and do respect the actual theme settings.

Lua will remove objects as values from a weak table before these objects are
finalized, but as values only in the next garbage collection cycle after the
object was finalized. Up to now, gears.object uses a table with weak keys so
that :disconnect_signal() works. This means that a signal can still call methods
which were already considered garbage by the garbage collector and thus can use
userdata from the C side which was already finalized. Crashes and other bugs
result.
This commit changes the code so that the function is also a value in the weak
table. Thus, the GC will remove the entry before the object is finalized.
Special magic is needed for Lua 5.1, because there only userdata has the
behavior that we want while we have a function. We do some magic with function
environments to make this work...

This adds new functions to all widgets that allow to force a specific
width/height. These values override the result from :fit().

When emitting layout_changed, the widget is relayouted. If this doesn't actually
change anything, nothing will be redrawn. Thus, this also emits redraw_needed to
force redraws.
This fixes a race condition with some weird tray icons. A new tray icon is
created and the systray is updated. Then this new icon is destroyed immediately
again and at the same time another icon is created. Then, the systray isn't
updated since the number of icons (=the layout) did not actually change.
However, it needs to be updated and so we ended up with broken/missing icons.

This adds support for the callback that was added in the previous commit to this
function. We can just pass on the function that the caller gives us.

This allows scrolling a widget if there is too few space available. There are
several different modes available for how the scrolling "looks like".

This is a weak table whose entries might be removed by the garbage collector.
I'm not sure if this will every cause problems, but it's better to be prepared
for tables having "nil holes" (which would mean ipairs ignores some entries).

The code already tried to handle this correctly, but at some point it used the
wrong variable as the screen number...

Example:

{{ },"Return",function(command)

Usually users want a wallpaper on all their screens. With the current code, this
resulted in a loop of upload-wallpaper, {download-wallpaper, add-new-part,
upload-wallpaper}*.
Fix this by being more intelligent: Instead of setting the wallpaper
immediately, this now uses gears.timer.delayed_call() to set the wallpaper. All
following modifications which come in before the delayed call runs will still be
part of the current update. This should mean that during startup, there is just
a single upload of a wallpaper.
(The above is what happens if there is no wallpaper yet. If there is already
one, we use :create_similar() and thus should only upload the part of the
wallpaper that changed, but this doesn't really make a difference.)
As a side-effect, the new code no longer draws to the old wallpaper to modify
it, but always creates a copy of it. This means that:

Thanks to the way that X11 works, geometries consider the size of the client
without the border width, but the position of the top-left corner of the border.
This commit adds a new function get_area() which returns the area that is
actually covered by a client. Then, all the code is changed to use this new
function (even the part of the code which did get this border thing correct).
Closes https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/541.

None of this code wants to resize clients. Thus, it makes sense to only set the
position of a client and ignore its size.
Also, this sneaks in a fix for no_offscreen which is documented to return the
client's new position, but didn't actually do so.

This makes the timer emit signals for when it is started and stopped. This does
not add a signal for :again(), because that function just calls the other two
functions and thus already emits start and stop.
