The last time this page had a refresh was in parallel with another
massive whole-doc project. Thus, this page still had older
conventions which everything else had already removed.
The tag history kept a strong reference to a screen even after that
screen was removed. This prevented the garbage collector from cleaning
up.
Fix this by getting rid of the tag history on screen removal.

Another pull request at some point will add proper API levels,
it will then become possible to fix these without breaking
the API for everybody. However right now there is no way around
the problems.
Before this commit, the code directly modified the table where the tag's
properties were saved. This commit changes the code to call
awful.tag.setproperty() instead. This function ensures that
property::screen is now also emitted.

This way their name doesn't get mangle by the broken magic. It will also
eventually allow to `error()` in the template when the implicit
`@function` is used.
This commit also fixes a large number of issues found while
proof-reading everything.
ldoc has a magical `@classmod` module type which tries to detect
what is a method and what is a static function. It fails about as
often as it works. This commit makes everything explicit to remove
such issues.
Fixes#2640
Ref #1373
If the `layouts` are set during initialization, `t.layout` will
return `floating` if `t.layouts` is added before `t.layout`. By
using the raw layout, the fallback doesn't kicks in.
Previously, the layout list was global. However it wasn't covering all
possible use cases and make using `awful.widget.layoutlist` hard since
a layout could be excluded from the `awful.layout.layouts` but still
used for a tag (by setting it explicitly).
For "stuff around screen's 'removed' signal", it might make sense to
temporarily set a tags screen to nil. The idea is that it will only
later be assigned to a new screen, not immediately.
However, currently a tag with screen nil causes quite some problems in
the set_screen() function. This commit works around this with a generous
amount of "wrap this in if".

When awful.tag.new() got a list of layouts shorter than the list of
names, it would previously create tags with nil as their layout. This
commit changes this so that the first layout is repeated if necessary.

Swap the parameters the next time the API break / deprecation season is open.
This is indeed confusing, as reported on IRC. The screen is *not* optional,
`awful.tag.find_by_name(name)` wont work
* Move table functions out of awful.util into new gears.table
* travis: Use v9999 prefix for full requests
Make sure no newly deprecated functions are used
* Move all `awful.util.table.*` calls to `gears.table.*` calls
Move table test functions from awful/util_spec to new gears/table_spec
Change awful.util.subsets call to gears.math.subsets in awful/key.lua
The only other swap function is awful.tag.swap and that one is
deprecated. Thus, it should not be linked to.
