Apparently some of the last commits speeds up create_wibox() a lot. This
highlights that this is a bad test: After creating thousands of wiboxes, awesome
needed 15 seconds to draw all of them and in the end some dbus timeout aborted
the test run.
However, it's irrelevant how quickly we can create wibox. The interesting number
is how quickly we can display a new wibox. Thus, this commits changes the code
so that it also measures the time that is needed to update the wibox. This way,
we don't accumulate a huge number of pending repaints and everything's fine.
Some results (but there is nothing to compare this with):
create&draw wibox: 0.0373947 sec/iter ( 28 iters, 1.59 sec for benchmark)
update textclock: 0.00198174 sec/iter (515 iters, 1.937 sec for benchmark)

This commit does two things: It gets rid of the reference to the layoutbox that
the default config created and it changes the widget dependency cache to not
keep widgets alive unnecessarily.

Again, instead of directly connecting to various signals for updating a
tasklist, this commit changes the code so that there is just a single, global
connections and based on this a weak table with all tasklist instances is used
do the updates.

Similar to what the previous commit does for layoutboxes, this changes the code
for the taglist so that there is only a single, global connection to the various
signals and these update all taglists via weak tables.

Instead of connecting to the needed tag-update-signal again for every layoutbox,
this now just creates a single connection and updates all layoutboxes from here.
A new weak table is used to find the layoutboxes from these callbacks.
Additionally, layoutboxes are now per-screen unique. So even if you try to
create three layoutboxes for screen 1, the code will now always return the same
instance.
This kind-of fixes the leak test for layoutboxes. The problem is that the
default config also creates a layoutbox and adds it to a wibox. Since this is
now the same layoutbox, the test still fails. Just removing the layoutbox-part
from the default config makes this problem go away.

This fixes the textclock-specific part of the test that the previous commit
added.
To fix this, gears.timer.weak_start_new() is used. This function creates a timer
that is automatically stopped when its callback function is garbage collected.
The callback function is saved as a member of the texbox widget that is the
"widget behind the textclock". Thus, the timer can only be stopped after the
widget is garbage-collected, but the timer does not keep the widget alive.

The way of icon path lookup for `menubar` is enhanced so that it is
based on a theme-oriented way as described in the specification:
Icon Theme Specification, Ver. 0.12
http://standards.freedesktop.org/icon-theme-spec/icon-theme-spec-latest.html
To accomplish this:
* Add the two new files `icon_theme.lua` and `index_theme.lua`.
The former implements an icon lookup algorithm suggested in the URL
above. The latter implements a helper object to parse the cache file
`index.theme` of which data is used by the former.
* Modify `menu_gen.lua` to use the new algorithm.
- The implementation of `lookup_category_icons` is changed
accordingly.
- The values of the field `all_categories.icon_name` are changed file
names to icon names, i.e., file extensions which are used to
indicate image file formats are removed.
* Add the new file `icon_theme_spec.lua` for a unit test for checking
if `icon_theme.lua` together with `index_theme.lua` works as
expected.
When a client is not visible, this would adjust its stacking order
still.
This also addresses https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/issues/472,
because it raises unminimized clients after they got focused.
This function updates a hierarchy if the layout of some widgets changed. It does
nothing on the parts that did not change. This should be more efficient than
recomputing the whole hierarchy whenever something changes.
Once again, this has some positive results on the "benchmark test":
Before:
create wibox: 0.083016 sec/iter ( 13 iters, 1.161 sec for benchmark)
update textclock: 0.00391091 sec/iter (271 iters, 3.219 sec for benchmark)
relayout textclock: 0.00273234 sec/iter (397 iters, 1.087 sec for benchmark)
redraw textclock: 0.0010191 sec/iter (989 iters, 1.745 sec for benchmark)
After:
create wibox: 0.083146 sec/iter ( 13 iters, 1.163 sec for benchmark)
update textclock: 0.00170519 sec/iter (647 iters, 2.201 sec for benchmark)
relayout textclock: 0.000581637 sec/iter (1880 iters, 1.094 sec for benchmark)
redraw textclock: 0.0010167 sec/iter (997 iters, 1.773 sec for benchmark)
So again no difference for creating wiboxes (100.16% compared to before). This
time we also have no real difference for creating wiboxes (99.76%). Update (44%)
and relayout (21%) are improved a lot.

This makes the textbox' :draw() and :fit() callbacks use the DPI that is
specified in the given drawing context. With this, the textbox now scales
correctly if different screens have different DPI values.

redraw textclock: 0.00105128 sec/iter (958 iters, 1.79 sec for benchmark)
We see no significant change in the creation of wiboxes (99.9% compared to
before). Update (20% of the previous run time), relayout (16%) and redraw (69%)
are all sped up by this change.

Instead of going through LGI to call cairo, this now implements the various
matrix operations directly in Lua. The plan is to avoid the overhead that we hit

This (ab)uses the integration tests to run a benchmark. This currently only
measures wibox drawing performance. To avoid wasting CPU-cycles, this does only
a quick run under travis while on "normal" runs the function under test is
executed in a loop to improve the precision of the measurement.
This benchmarks hopefully allow to optimize things in a clear fashion instead of
things like "it feels faster to me".

- Remove `-rdynamic` from "CFLAGS" and count on CMake to pass it to
the compiler at the link phase (Issue #450).
- Move the definition of "CFLAGS" from `awesomeConfig.cmake` to
`CMakeLists.txt` and give it a name, `AWESOME_C_FLAGS`, so that the
relation between the target and the flags is made clearer and
manageable.
- Make `AWESOME_C_FLAGS` a cached variable so that the developers can
tweak the flags promptly in accordance with their necessities without
changing the prescribed value.
- Add a logic to cope with the case where CMake fails to set
`-rdynamic`.

There is a client window C. Around this window, awesome adds a frame window F.
When the pointer is inside of C and then moves inside of F, we get a LeaveNotify
with detail=Inferior, but from our point of view, the pointer is still inside of
C, because F is contained in C.
Similarly, if the pointer is in F and moves to C, we get an EnterNotify with
detail=Inferior that we should ignore. However, for an EnterNotify the pointer
can now be inside of a titlebar, so this case has to be handled now.
The above explains the enter/leave behavior for clients. Let's now think about
titlebars: When the pointer moves from C to F, it cannot be in any titlebar any
more, so we must generate a leave event on that titlebar. Similar when the
pointer moves from F to C, but in this case we also have to figure out which
titlebar now contains the pointer.
This patch makes the code handle these events with detail=Inferior correctly.

This adds a global variable that tracks the drawable that is currently under the
mouse cursor. This new variable is then used so that we get consistent behavior
for enter/leave signals. Such signals are now also generated when a MotionNotify
event tells us that the pointer is now in a different titlebar.
Before this, it was possible that we did not generate a leave event on a
titlebar since the LeaveNotify contains the cursor position after the leave and
we did not manage to figure out which titlebar was left.

Before this, dependencies between widgets where implicitly discovered by
recursive calls to base.fit_widget() and base.layout_widget(). However, it is
too easy to get this wrong (just call one of these functions from outside of a
widget's :fit() / :layout() function) and the resulting mess would be hard to
debug.
Thus, this commit changes the API so that callers have to identify themselves
and we can explicitly record the dependency between the widgets involved.
This also fixes a bug where no dependencies were tracked for widgets after
:set_visible(false). Whoops...
Sorry for breaking the API for adding this.

This is used by `tooltip.place` then to tie the tooltip to the screen of
the mouse. Without this, a tooltip from the tasklist might get moved to
the screen above the tasklist, if it gets considered to be on that
screen given its coordinates.
Closes https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/437.
When a complete repaint is scheduled, also do a relayout, because this is also
the case that we go through when the underlying cairo surface is resized. For
example, resizing a client with a titlebar would trigger this.
Also, going through this code path is necessary since this is the only place
where the dirty area is updated so that it includes "everything". Before this
change, nothing was actually redrawn, because the dirty area was empty.
