--- Toggle the visibility of a panel, spawning the command if necessary.
--
-- A panel is a floating, centered client that can be scaled to a percentage of
-- its size.
--
-- @param cmd The command.
-- @param args Table containing the single instance ID and additional arguments for spawn
-- @param args.id Single instance ID.
-- @param args.props Properties to apply to the client.
-- @param args.pwd Pathname to the working directory for new clients.
-- @param args.timeout Seconds after which to stop waiting for a client to spawn.
-- @param args.callback Function to call with client when it spawns.
-- @param args.factory The factory to use (see wm-launch's -f flag).
-- @param args.systemd If true, run cmd with systemd-run.
-- @param args.firejail If true, run cmd with firejail.
-- @param args.filter Function to filter clients that are considered.
-- @param args.scale Percent to scale client (see awful.placement.scale).
