The requirement to call add_signal() was added to catch typos. However, this
requirement became increasingly annoying with property::<name> signals and e.g.
gears.object allowing arbitrary properties to be changed.
All of this ended up in a single commit because tests/examples fails if I first
let add_signal() emit a deprecation warning.

This adds a test that checks that :setup{ false } filters out the false, just
like it already filters out nil values. Then, this also adds a test that checks
that properties (:setup{ foo = false }) are not filtered out, because the first
version of me check did that accidentally.

This function updates a hierarchy if the layout of some widgets changed. It does
nothing on the parts that did not change. This should be more efficient than
recomputing the whole hierarchy whenever something changes.
Once again, this has some positive results on the "benchmark test":
Before:
create wibox: 0.083016 sec/iter ( 13 iters, 1.161 sec for benchmark)
update textclock: 0.00391091 sec/iter (271 iters, 3.219 sec for benchmark)
relayout textclock: 0.00273234 sec/iter (397 iters, 1.087 sec for benchmark)
redraw textclock: 0.0010191 sec/iter (989 iters, 1.745 sec for benchmark)
After:
create wibox: 0.083146 sec/iter ( 13 iters, 1.163 sec for benchmark)
update textclock: 0.00170519 sec/iter (647 iters, 2.201 sec for benchmark)
relayout textclock: 0.000581637 sec/iter (1880 iters, 1.094 sec for benchmark)
redraw textclock: 0.0010167 sec/iter (997 iters, 1.773 sec for benchmark)
So again no difference for creating wiboxes (100.16% compared to before). This
time we also have no real difference for creating wiboxes (99.76%). Update (44%)
and relayout (21%) are improved a lot.

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.

Before this, dependencies between widgets where implicitly discovered by
recursive calls to base.fit_widget() and base.layout_widget(). However, it is
too easy to get this wrong (just call one of these functions from outside of a
widget's :fit() / :layout() function) and the resulting mess would be hard to
debug.
Thus, this commit changes the API so that callers have to identify themselves
and we can explicitly record the dependency between the widgets involved.
This also fixes a bug where no dependencies were tracked for widgets after
:set_visible(false). Whoops...
Sorry for breaking the API for adding this.

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.

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.
Ref: https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/139
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.
