Another step in moving these APIs toward the common object oriented and
declarative paradigms used by other APIs.
This commit introduces the `awful.keyboard` module. It currenly only
exists as a placeholder for the first few append/remove function, but
will grow in scope in another pull request to expose the currently
private modifier APIs and to provide keybindings collision detection
and replace some of `awful.hotkey_popup` business logic.
The `keygrabber` tests which uses root keybindings are disabled for
now to keep the commit size small. This is necessary since the shims
will need many iterations of changes before this work again with the
new syntax.
Try both legacy and standardized code paths. Also try invalid mixes of
them in case some modules abuse of rc.lua and ingest the wrong format
by accident.
There is no better place to put it and need to always be required
for backward compatibility. Given Awesome no longer works properly
without `awful`, I put the code there.
This isn't very nice and pulls all sort of almost useless code into
the shims, making them less atomic. However the next few commits
will start another round of API standardization and the compatibility
layer wont be optional anymore.
This template allows to display a sequence of events for the clients,
tags and screens. Currently, it is hard to display images where the
state of an object is more complex than "here how it was before" and
"here how it is now". With this template, it is possible to have a
timeline of events from the initial states to the final states.
Now, as the line count shows, this isn't small. It is in fact an
enormous template. Worst still, this commit is the first *half* of
it. The second half adds the ability to `print()`, display
inline code and support mouse and keyboard events. The code also isn't
world class. Maintaining this template might be non-trivial in the
long run. I am fully aware of those issues. On the other hand, there
is ~100 places where this will be used once the entire
"new rule library" project is completed. This will bring the ~1.2k
line of code to ~12 lines per consumer. From that point of view,
it makes a lot more sense to merge this given how useful it is
at explaining changes within the "core objects".
It is also important to keep in mind that there is currently very
little or no documentation (beside the mandatory one-liner summary)
for these concepts. Those are the most important aspects of AwesomeWM
API and they are the least documented. This is just wrong.
Both commit 44e6b2d24e and 4eda67ce54 added the same function to this
file (and by the commit message, the later was intended to do so, while
the former has an unrelated commit message (but does not contain any
other changes)).

In case of error, well, make an error, but update the content anyway.
This will be enough for the CI but makes development less painful.
Also update the cmake targets to re-generate them more often.
Previously it was possible to manipulate deleted screens and that
made debugging harder down the line. By catching this early, it
wont be as nightmarish.
The way background are rendered changed to accomodate issues regarding
cliping and border. However this broke the documentation examples.
This commit fixes this in the least hacky way I found.
