In Unix, so that a process can learn about the exit status of the child
processes that it started, children become zombie processes until the
parents collects their exit information. We use glib both for starting
and for collecting processes. However, when awesome is restarted, the
new instance inherits children, but does not know about them and does
not inherit them.
Fix this by explicitly tracking a list of running child processes and by
serialising them across a restart via an environment variable. The new
awesome instance can then watch for these child processes, but besides
that it ignores them and does not use their exit status in any way.
Thanks to Colin Walters for the hint with serialising the list of processes.

Every .c file has to include the corresponding .h file first to make sure the
headers are self-contained. Additionally, this moves some unneeded includes
around.

This option is no longer valid in modelines, so it has been removed from
all modelines using the following shellscript:
#!/bin/ksh
git ls-tree -r HEAD | cut -f2 | while read f; do
egrep -e '^(//|--) vim: .*encoding=' $f >/dev/null || continue
sed -E -e '/^(\/\/|--) vim:/s/:encoding=utf-8//' $f > /tmp/foo
mv /tmp/foo $f
done

This adds a small function which behaves exactly like libc's system(), but also
clears the masked signal set in the child process.
This is needed because libev 3.8 masks signals. :(
