As long as Awesome provides APIs that uses pixels are points, this
cannot be enabled by default.
For example, a wibar size defined in pixels may be too small to
render the text once a dense display is connected.
Once upon a time, beautiful.xresources.get_dpi was added to query
Xft.dpi. That made sense since this queried an xresources property. Over
time, other, non-xresources-based ways to query DPI were added to this
function. Now, it makes no more sense to have this function here.
Also, recently it became possible to add new properties to C objects
from Lua code. Thus, we no longer need to have a get_dpi() function
somewhere, but can add s.dpi directly.
Thus, this commit adds s.dpi and makes everything use it. No functional
changes are intended.

* 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
As documented in
<https://keithp.com/~keithp/talks/xtc2001/paper/xft.html#sec-editing>,
the fallback value for Xft.dpi should be the vertical DPI reported by X.
On Xorg, this will generally be 96, unless the user has overridden the
value by either forcing Xorg to report the EDID-derived DPI, or by
setting the DPI themselves (via configuration, command line, or xrandr).
The 96 value is kept as ultimate fallback if anything goes wrong.
It does not provide much value. The version number is already known to
ldoc globally in the "description" variable.

Given an outcome of e.g. 1.01 its more sane to use 1 than 2, especially
for `border_width`.
This uses the method from `wibox.layout.flex`.
Closes https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/389.
This adds an optional screen argument to get_dpi/apply_dpi and set_dpi
to store DPI values per screen.
This can be used in your config to manage different DPI values for an
internal and external display:
beautiful.xresources.set_dpi(125, 1)
beautiful.xresources.set_dpi(94, 2)
This is meant to be the foundation for more evolved DPI handling in
awesome.
Closes https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/336.
