Testing demonstrated that many rule properties were broken when used
together. This commit try to address this by forcing an execution order
that doesn't trigger the problems.
It is still possible to write broken rules, but it should not happen by
accident anymore. Users should not try to assign the client a tag on
screen 2 and also use screen=screen[1].
This commit also add a 3 step process to apply rules.
Testing showed that many rules are currently broken because
of execution races.
Create a new dynamic tag for the client.
There was many unfixable race conditions that could only be
solved by better integrating the request:: system and
awful.rules. This has the side effect to make rules mandatory.
In the case where one want to put the cursor at the middle of the
workarea, it is logic to do:
x=screen.workarea.x+screen.workasrea.width/2
However, this can cause floating points. This commit move the
burden back to the C-API so the Lua placement code doesn't have
to add a large number of rounding methods. Given 1 type of rounding
cover a vast majority of use cases for each types of coordinates,
the C-API can take care of it in peace. For the other corner cases,
it is still possible for the Lua code to do the rounding there, but
no longer necessary. The convenstions are:
'x' and 'y': use round (move to the closest point)
'width' and 'height': use ceil (to avoid involontary truncating)
This change catches things like c:geometry { width = -42 }.

Xorg server from git[1] generates ConfigNotify event when monitor
configuration changes.
We handle the event, but only trigger required awesome_restart() if
screen size is changed. It's not what happens in case of monitor
configuration change.
Let's relax the condition and call awesome_restart() in response to all
ConfigNotify events to root window.
I'm not entirely sure that it wouldn't lead to superfluous restarts, but
I don't see an option.

XRandR 1.5 adds support for the new monitor objects.
'Monitor' is a rectangular subset of the screen which represents a
coherent collection of pixels presented to the user. Each Monitor is be
associated with a list of outputs (which may be empty).
The patch below matches 1:1 screens in AwesomeWM with XRandR's Monitors.
This way I get one screen across my 4K monitor, which is represented by
two CRTCs.

Tag names really are strings. Numbers just work accidentally since the C code
uses luaL_checklstring() to access the tag name and this function silently
converts numbers to strings.
This also has a nice documentation effect, making it easier for people to figure
out that they can change the name of a tag. Plus, with this the changes done by
previous commits make more sense (specifying an awful.rules-rule that identifies
a tag by name).
