Subject: [PATCH] awful.widget.graph: Add a "scale" property

If this is set to true (default is false), then the graph widget automatically
scales its content to make it fit exactly. If "max_value" is also set, this is
the minimum "height" the graph will use.

This can be useful for graphes which monitor things like network bandwidth
which can vary a lot.
