The new client is hopefully faster. Why, you ask?
Instead of spawning a new Lua process each time a test asks for a new window,
there is a "daemon process" which gets commands to open new windows from its
standard input. That way, Lua doesn't have to load LGI all the time and lots of
pointless work is skipped. The daemon process exits when its stdin is closed and
thus should automatically exit when awesome exits.

run.sh waits for awesome's startup to be done by having awesome execute "return
1" via its dbus interface. However, by default dbus has a 25 second timeout
before it fails a dbus-send invocation. This defeats the purpose of this
exercise.
So instead of using awesome-client, this commit makes the code use dbus-send
directly and specifies a relative low reply timeout (which should still be
plenty so that this doesn't erroneously fail).

The timeout utility guarantees an exit code of 124 when the process died due to
timeout. Since awesome only ever exits with 0 or 1, we can use this to reliably
detect timeouts and print a matching message.

coreutils provides a timeout command. Use that instead of (badly) inventing our
own version of it. This "timeout" command seems to be new. Let's hope everyone
has it and think about alternative solutions only when needed.

When awesome exits with a non-zero code, this is something interesting that we
should log. Do so.
The "set +e" / "set -e" dance is required so that we do not abort because the
wait builtin returns a non-zero code.

This script runs under "set -e", so any command exiting with a non-zero status
makes it abort. However, we do not care about failures from grep to find
anything, so handle that case gracefully.

Before this commit: When we are GC'ing an object, we clear its metatable, since
otherwise crashes could occur in various places. This means that if someone
tries to use such an object, they get an unhelpful error message like "attempt
to index userdata object" and they don't understand what the problem is. Also,
this means that foo.valid does not actually work after GC.
This commit changes this behaviour. Instead of setting an empty metatable, we
now create a metatable with an __index and __newindex method. These metamethods
produce better error messages that they sat the underlying object was already
garbage collected. Better yet, the __index metamethod makes foo.valid be false
instead of causing an error, so that the existing machinery for detecting
invalid objects continues to work.
This commit also adds a functional test that verifies this behaviour.

To ensure that some features such as SNID rules work, we need
to ensure that the screen isn't set by other code paths. Only
a single algorithm can be executed for the screen. As soon
as many algorithms are executed on events such as "manage", it
will most likely regress again.
This commit make sure of that by disabling the default normal source
of c.screen. After that, any other c.screen changes can be
considered bugs.
The code was written so that it assumes that disconnecting the last signal also
removed the corresponding entry in the signal array. This lead e.g. to an
index-out-of-bounds access in some cases.

The "test launching client on a specific screen" suit is very slow.
However, it is also necessary to avoid issues such as #1069 or #154
from regressing again.
This is a temporary fix until a faster test client "daemon" is
developped.
While testing using "the real deal" and with all the tests would be
better, it would add a lot of complexity to the testing framework.
This module generate multiple multi-screen scenarios and some obvious
issues that they can cause. Over time, as more steps are added, it
will provide "good enough" testing for multiple screens.
Individual test suits can require() this utility to replicate their
steps for each multi-screen scenarios.
This uses the new support introduced in f0f31bc305 in the docs and in
tests/run.sh, removing an useless use of cat/echo.

The build is no longer aborted when one of the "example tests" produces a
message on stderr. However, on Travis this requirement is still made. This
should catch "bad errors" via Travis while not breaking the build for users.
