Similar systems already exist un luaobject, wibox and the declarative
widget system. This close the gap and also bring the property based
syntax to wibox and other gears.object users.
While this need to be enabled explicitly for legacy reasons, it
doesn't break the API.
Once widespread, this implementation will replace the one found
in wibox.widget.base_widget.
This defines some assertions in Lua that should catch API misuses. It might be
that Lua is a bit slower due to this, but so what?

Why:
* Two different (but related) concepts had the same name
* Users were confused for years on IRC
* The wibar name was already in use in some doc to avoid confusion
This was only partially implemented. The margins were substracted from
the area too early in the pipeline. Now, they are added when getting
the size and substracted when setting it. This way, the margins will
"survive" when a placement function set an absolute value in one of
the field. Previously, this caused one (or more) of the margins to
be lost.
Before this commit, it was necessary to call 'rawset' to be
able to add new fields to the wibox. This is no longer required.
This solution was choosen because wibox is itself a base class of
menus and wibars. Those classes can now add new properties without
hacks.
This commit changes the markup applied to the action description text to
emphasize the fact that the action zone is actually clickable. Bold is
replaced with underline, the Unicode 261B symbol (right pointer) is
added as well.
According to the Desktop Notification specification document [1] the
clients supply actions available along with a notification in a form of
a list of pairs where first element is an identifier of an action and
the second is a localized message that will be displayed to the user.
Up to now the naughty code directly used the action identifier text as a
part of the notification layout exposed to the user. This commit makes
use of a localized action description for that purpose.
