The usual "a or b"-trick to simulate C's ?:-operator does not work when
"false" is a valid value. Fix the code to handle this correctly and add
a short unit test which would have caught this problem.

Instead of doing Linux-specific magic with error codes and trying to
read the first byte of a file, just use Gio to check if a file exists
and is readable.

When adding callbacks as a `callback` entry in a property, the callback
is run by `awful.rules`, because it does `c.callback =
result_of_function`. This is obviously not intended. Also, this causes
the callbacks to run twice, because the code already handled this
`callback` property specially.
Fix this by just not merging callbacks with the normal rules at all.

It does not provide much value. The version number is already known to
ldoc globally in the "description" variable.

Instead of using magic with a weak table, the code now saves this data
as a property under the tag object. This avoids all kinds of leaks, for
example caused by t.foo = t.

Instead of using a weak table to save the last mouse position, this is
now saved directly as a property under the screen.

Instead of using a weak table with some magic to save properties of a
client, the code now uses the c.data table provided by the C code
instead.

Instead of having an extra weak table to save a boolean per client, this
now sets a property directly on the client.

This new function is called whenever the visibility of the drawable
changes. Later commits can use this for explicitly tracking the lifetime
of drawables instead of using magic weak tables.

This is the first step in deprecating them. A function with so
many optional arguments is just bad design.
The next few commits will rewrite the documentation and deprecate
the old arguments.
For a while, it was often suggested on IRC to replace the default
request::activate handler to implement custom focus stealing policies.
While it is working, it isn't user friendly. This commit add a simple
mechanism to add such policies.
This adds a tparam alias "@screen" for "@tparam screen" (when used to
document e.g. arguments for callbacks), and "@screen_or_idx" when a
function accepts a "screen" or "number".
The default config had tables like mywibox and mywibox[s] was the wibox
that is visible on screen s. When a screen is removed, nothing cleans up
these tables and so the screen and the wibox could not be garbage
collected. The same applies to the layoutbox, taglist etc.
This commit removes the global mywibox table and instead saves it as a
property on the screen. This way, the screen is not explicitly
referenced and when it is removed, the screen, its wibox and all of its
widgets become unreachable and can be garbage collected.
This commit also updates the docs and the tests that referenced things
(mostly the wibox) via mywibox[s] to now use s.mywibox.

The magnifier layout wants to ignore floating clients. Before 82342f0 this was
done by calling awful.client.floating.get(focus). If "focus" was nil, this might
have checked the floating status of a wrong client (if some other client was
focused, and the code in magnifier set focus=nil before). This issue can easily
be missed and might exist since forever. After 82342f, floating status is
checked via "focus.floating" and this now causes an "attempt to index nil value"
error instead. Much easier to notice.
Fix this by adding the missing nil check and while touching the code, merge this
with the previous "if" and correct another error (the wrong thing happened if we
had #cls=0).

A client is supposed to go to a screen when:
* It has been started using `awful.spawn` with explicit instructions [1]
* An `awful.rules` rule **or any of its callbacks** set the screen [2]
* When something handle `request::screen` and/or `request::tag` in some
custom ways. [3]
* Some clients can request a screen and mean it (like MythTV/Kodi/XBMC and
some multi-window DAW) [4]
A client is supposed to go to the focused screen when none of the above are
true [5].
Other constraints:
* The screen need to be set only once, anything will will emit
`property::screen` many time and cause side effects.
* There has to be a single entry point to the algorithm, no multiple
"manage" handler.
* Awesome internals must use the `request::` signal API and not force
their decision outside of request handlers.
* Restarting Awesome must not change the client screen
Commit 2178744 fix use case number [1] and [2]. It actually fix [4] too, but
it is an accident and I am not sure we care about [4] anyway. Use case [1]
and [2], however, are very important.
Fix#1091
The geometry storage has been moved into awful.placement. This
code was never executed as data[] was never populated.
There is some behavior that is indeed lost, but it is unlikely
someone will ever notice (it has been broken for 6 months).
The previous code attempted to handle scrren changes while
maximized. The new code organization shift this responsability
to awful.placement. However, it doesn't yet fully implement the
previous logic.
Awesome 3.5.9 accepts `_active`/`_inactive` names for `beautiful`
minimize keys (such as "titlebar_minimize_button_focus_inactive").
Some themes rely on those, meaning that when they loaded under
the current Git, the minimize button went missing. This adds a
fallback, to improve compatibility with the existing themes.
