This has some positive results on the "benchmark test". Each single number is
the best one out of three runs.
Before:
create wibox: 0.0826502 sec/iter ( 13 iters, 1.157 sec for benchmark)
update textclock: 0.0186952 sec/iter ( 57 iters, 2.473 sec for benchmark)
relayout textclock: 0.0158112 sec/iter ( 64 iters, 1.028 sec for benchmark)
redraw textclock: 0.0015197 sec/iter (662 iters, 1.861 sec for benchmark)
After:
create wibox: 0.0825672 sec/iter ( 13 iters, 1.154 sec for benchmark)
update textclock: 0.00378412 sec/iter (277 iters, 4.216 sec for benchmark)
relayout textclock: 0.00259056 sec/iter (420 iters, 1.09 sec for benchmark)
redraw textclock: 0.00105128 sec/iter (958 iters, 1.79 sec for benchmark)
We see no significant change in the creation of wiboxes (99.9% compared to
before). Update (20% of the previous run time), relayout (16%) and redraw (69%)
are all sped up by this change.

Instead of going through LGI to call cairo, this now implements the various
matrix operations directly in Lua. The plan is to avoid the overhead that we hit
due to LGI.

These caches, well, cache the result of the :layout and :fit callbacks on
widgets.
Clearing caches is done by recording dependencies between a widget. When a call
to base.fit_widget() or base.layout_widget() recursively causes another call to
such a function, this means that the earlier widget depends on the later widget.
This dependency is recorded and when the later widget emits
widget::layout_changed, the caches of all the widgets involved are cleared.

This makes the tests for wibox.hierarchy use test_utils.widget_stub() instead of
having its own implementation of "fake widgets".

A widget hierarchy describes the position of widgets. The hierarchy is a
recursive tree of widget hierarchy instances. This functionality depends on a
:layout function that is not yet implemented on widgets, but will be added
later.

After this change, fit_widget() enforces that a widget cannot ask for more space
than was offered to it. This also fixes a rounding issue in the flex layout
where its fit function would return too small numbers.
Thanks to this, lots of "XXX" comments in spec/ disappear.

With version 2.0rc5, Busted started cleaning up between tests more thoroughly.
The result was that it managed to unload and reload lgi. However, the C part of
lgi is not safe to be reloaded. This caused sporadic errors in the test suite
runs.
Work around this via a helper script that is run before Busted starts running
tests. When we load lgi in this helper script, it is loaded before Busted starts
saving and restoring everything and thus lgi won't ever be unloaded.

Connecting to a signal weakly has the same effect as connecting to it strongly,
but it allows the garbage collector to disconnect the signal in case nothing
else references this function.

Busted now only provides the magic modules `assert`, `spy` etc for
the busted context. The helper module `spec/wibox/test_utils.lua`
therefore needs to explicitly require them.

This gets rid of awful.util.unittest and instead creates an automatic test for
it under spec/awful/util_spec.lua. In the process, it also fixes the test to
actually test the right thing and I took the liberty to add some more tests.

The previous code assumed that pairs() iterates over the table in a specific
order which is not a safe assumption.

This uses busted (http://olivinelabs.com/busted/) to implement unit testing.
This is wired up to "make check" and/or "make test".
This commit also adds tests for the more complicated parts of the gears and
wibox.layout libraries.
