Even thought `awful.key` handles optional "release" parameter well,
parameters are also get used before passing them. In case (only)
optional "data" is provided, it faulty gets called on a release event.
In the earlier revision of the keygrabber PR, there was a `release_key`
and it was suggested to rename it `stop_key`. However its sibling
`release_event` wasn't, so it is now confusing.
The commit adds a mild deprecation codepath to avoid breaking configs
based on git-master. However it isn't a "long term" deprecation notice
and the code can probably be removed in 5.0 without further delay.
The old keygrabber API wasn't doing what the users want from a
keygrabber module. With tons of boilerplate code, everything could
be done, but it wasn't trivial.
This commit add a default grabber function that implements the
keybinding API already used by `awful.key` and `awful.prompt`.
It also add syntax candy left and right to make the module "feel"
like a native CAPI object.
Nothing is perfect and some parts, like adding root keybindings, are not
vevy pleasing. However it fulfill its goal when it comes to make
previously non-trivial use case very easy to implement and deploy.
It does not provide much value. The version number is already known to
ldoc globally in the "description" variable.
