This commit makes all C code that previously returned a screen index now return
a screen object, continuing the deprecation of screen indicies. Note that this
is an API break and will likely cause all kinds of problems for users.
The change also breaks some tests which are suitably fixed in this commit.

Instead of focusing the root window, we now create a "focus window" inside of
our frame window. This window is placed so that it is not visible, but we can
grab key bindings on it to simulate the window having the input focus.

When we manage the transient before the main window, the client object's
.transient_for property would stay nil. This happens because the property points
to a window which we don't know (yet) and thus is ignored.
Fix this by remembering the value of WM_TRANSIENT_FOR and checking in
client_manage() if the new client is the "missing window we did not find
before".

To quote from ICCCM (§4.1.2): "The window manager will not change properties
written by the client."
We tried to do this anyway to update WM_HINTS so that the current urgency state
is reflected. Apparently, Chrome does a similar read-modify-set cycle and the
resulting race condition meant that the "accepts input" hint on Chromium's
window was permanently disabled.
This helps with https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/issues/670, but I still
think that Chrome shouldn't try to implement "please don't focus me when I do
the following" by temporarily claiming "please don't ever focus me".

Some words about X11 event handling: Every X11 client can select input on any
window. For this, inside the X11 server each window has for each client a
bitmask for the kind of events that this client is interested in. When a mouse
button is pressed inside of a window, a corresponding event is generated for
that window and sent to all X11 clients which asked for
XCB_EVENT_MASK_BUTTON_PRESS. When no client is interested in this event, the
event is propagated to the parent window and the same procedure is done again
here. This continues up until the root window is reached.
Some words about the event masks that awesome uses: For clients, we ask for
button press events on the frame window that we reparent the client window into
so that we get any kind of press on the titlebar (and also events inside of the
client window if the client itself doesn't care for click events?). We are also
interested in button presses / releases on the root window. However, before this
commit, we didn't actually ask for button events on drawins (e.g. the wibox).
This worked fine, because no one asked for these events and the event propagated
to the root window where it was then sent to awesome.
However, newer Qt versions do something weird and the above broke. I don't
actually know what is going on. I know about the above propagation rules, but
looking at protocol traces of what Qt does, awesome should still get the button
events. During startup, Qt asks for button events on its own windows. After a
hotplug event, it asks the same again, but now also includes the root window.
So... how can Qt asking for button events on the root window cause awesome not
to get them? I have no idea.
(And yes, I guess that Qt asking for mouse events on the root window is a bug,
but I have no idea how exactly this happens nor about any other side effects of
it).
This commit makes us ask for button events on our drawins so that the server
will send them to us. This is the right thing to do anyway and it was reported
to have some positive effects.

When minimizing a client, we temporarily ignore events for the client window (so
that we don't get the UnmapNotify event that we are causing for the unmap) and
for the root window (I don't actually know why, no "harmful" events should be
caused...).
However, we weren't ignoring events on the frame window itself. This commit
fixes that oversight.
The problem here is that the pointer could be inside the window that is being
minimized. When we then unmap said window, the pointer will now be inside of the
frame window and the X11 server will thus generate an EnterNotify. When we
handle this event later on, we emit mouse::enter on the client and e.g. the
default config then focuses this client, which undoes the minimization.

Everything that needs the lua_State should create a local variable like this:

The width change while the drawin was not visible would not get propagated to
the drawable because of the code that this patch removes. The expectation was
that drawin_map() would update the drawable later.
However, because the drawin was already visible, its drawable also already has
a surface assigned. Thus, drawin_map() wouldn't update the drawable either.

The code in drawin_moveresize() tries to be clever and only updates the drawing
state of the drawable when it is resized, not when it is moved around. This used
to be necessary because once upon a time, drawin_update_drawing() threw away all
of the drawing state and thus forcing a repaint. These days it just calls
drawable_set_geometry() as well and that function special-cases moves.
So this old code in drawin_moveresize() is no longer necessary and actually
caused problems.
These problems occurred because drawin_update_drawing() is being clever and
doesn't do anything for .visible = false drawins, because their drawing state
will be updated once they become visible. However, not skipping
drawable_set_geometry() means that this broke, because drawin_map() thought that
the drawing state was up to date while in reality it wasn't.

Previously we would get a short black flicker when a client closes. This

time, the X server filled the frame window with its background-pixel which was

This cleans up lots of ugly code and also fixes a crash: When a drawable was
garbage collected before its drawin, drawin_wipe() would crash accessing the
drawable. This was needed to make it forget about the cairo surface we gave to
it for the pixmap that is being destroyed.

This caused problems where clients would always spawn on the top-left screen and

This kind of forces every client to have a window gravity of "static".
