When stopping a keygrabber with a timeout manually or through the stop
key, the timer would continue and call the stop callback again some time
later.
The error message in `gears.timer:stop` is removed, since there actually
is no harm in just returning immediately. And the timer implementation
itself calls `:stop` in certain places without checking for `.started`,
which lead to a situation where the internal call to `stop` triggered
the error message.

This way their name doesn't get mangle by the broken magic. It will also
eventually allow to `error()` in the template when the implicit
`@function` is used.
This commit also fixes a large number of issues found while
proof-reading everything.
ldoc has a magical `@classmod` module type which tries to detect
what is a method and what is a static function. It fails about as
often as it works. This commit makes everything explicit to remove
such issues.
Fixes#2640
Ref #1373
Also save some boilerplate code.
This closes the gap between timer.start_new and timer.new. Now the
only difference is that one have a special callback format while
the other only has predefined properties.
It does not provide much value. The version number is already known to
ldoc globally in the "description" variable.

The requirement to call add_signal() was added to catch typos. However, this
requirement became increasingly annoying with property::<name> signals and e.g.
gears.object allowing arbitrary properties to be changed.
All of this ended up in a single commit because tests/examples fails if I first
let add_signal() emit a deprecation warning.

This makes the timer emit signals for when it is started and stopped. This does
not add a signal for :again(), because that function just calls the other two
functions and thus already emits start and stop.

With the second argument being 2, the traceback will not include the error
handling function, but instead end at the actual place of the error.

This adds gears.timer.start(timeout, callback) that creates a timer object and
connects a callback to it, all in one go.
Additionally, this adds gears.timer.weak_start(timeout, callback). The weak
version still allows the callback function to be garbage collected and will then
stop the timer.
This was tested with the following code:
require("gears.timer").start(0.3, function()
print("ping")
if collectgarbage("step", 500) then
print("collection done")
error("err")
end
return true end)
require("gears.timer").weak_start(0.1, function()
io.stdout:write(".")
return true
end)
After a full collection cycle, both timers are stopped. The first one is stopped
because of the error() that it generated. The second one is stopped because the
callback function was garbage collected.
