This commit adds a .txt file next to each example test that generates a
text output. This text file contains the expected output and it is an
error if the actual output does not match the expected output. This
means that we no longer have to run the example tests before we can
expand all the @foo@ expressions that occur.
While touching this, I also fixed some typos and unexpected newlines in
the tests' output.

Previously it would print a table which would include the memory
location where the table was stored. Thus, this produces a different
result on every build.

This uses DOC_HIDE magic in the actual test code, except for the
template.lua files which do not have it.

This printed a table. This will make Lua print the address of the table and
hence the output of this test was non-deterministic.

There was a problem that the examples were considered to have failed as soon as
they produced any kind of output, but there were legitimate cases of warnings
being printed that triggered these checks. Commit 4819be4f4f used a
regular expression to detect and ignore this warnings.
This commit reverts the above commit and instead silences the warnings by
monkey-patching the function that prints the warnings into a no-op.

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.
