Subject: [PATCH] wibox.drawable: Do not relayout while invisible

Similar to the previous commit, this makes the drawable not apply a
pending relayout while it is not visible. When it becomes visible again,
the relayout is done.

The hope here is that less work is done while a drawable is not visible,
saving CPU time.
