Emmanuel Lepage Vallée 548b15e883 doc: Document the client layouts. (#1247)
This commit doesn't add any useful documentation, but adds
previously hidden documentation variables. It can be the basis
of a better layout documentation.

Fix #1246

Uli Schlachter 41a055cf83 Guarantee stable output from 06-appearence.md.lua (#1233)
This function was iterating over a table with pairs() to generate output (the
sample theme file). Since pairs() does not guarantee any iteration order, this
lead to a different order each time this file was generated. This is, for
example, visible in the diffs in the generate api documentation repository.

Fix this by using a self-made iteration function which behaves like pairs(), but
guarantees an iteration order sorted by keys.

Daniel Hahler d513e2c4fc doc fixes for awful.{client,screen,tag} (#1134)
This adds a tparam alias "@screen" for "@tparam screen" (when used to

function accepts a "screen" or "number".

Uli Schlachter da6012da3e Fix memory leak in the default config on screen removal
The default config had tables like mywibox and mywibox[s] was the wibox
that is visible on screen s. When a screen is removed, nothing cleans up
these tables and so the screen and the wibox could not be garbage
collected. The same applies to the layoutbox, taglist etc.

This commit removes the global mywibox table and instead saves it as a
property on the screen. This way, the screen is not explicitly
referenced and when it is removed, the screen, its wibox and all of its
widgets become unreachable and can be garbage collected.

This commit also updates the docs and the tests that referenced things
(mostly the wibox) via mywibox[s] to now use s.mywibox.

Emmanuel Lepage Vallee 63b712e247 doc: Document rc.lua
This meta-lua script takes the "raw" awesomerc.lua and turn it
into the final file and generate a documentation page from its
parsed content. It support

 * Turn {{{ into markdown categories
 * Turn top level comments into documentation
 * Add custom documentation sections
 * Parse the code to add links for each API calls

This helps generate a good entry point for new users wanting to
understand the content of rc.lua without searching the API by
hand.

Over time, this will also become the basis of the documentation.

If `rc.lua` is separated into several files, this will be easy to fix
this script. It could even do the separation itself from a monolitic
file using the already implemented {{{ parser.

ldoc doesn't allow to specify fields from class "A" into class "B",

that the client API doc is  confusing since it is in 2 different files.

Also restore the `awful.client` doc link, point to `client`

This will avoid broken links.
