The new client is hopefully faster. Why, you ask?
Instead of spawning a new Lua process each time a test asks for a new window,
there is a "daemon process" which gets commands to open new windows from its
standard input. That way, Lua doesn't have to load LGI all the time and lots of
pointless work is skipped. The daemon process exits when its stdin is closed and
thus should automatically exit when awesome exits.

GtkApplication does magic like ensuring that the application ID is unique and
there is only a single instance of each application running. We don't want nor
need that for the tests.

Startup notification support in urxvt is optional while GTK always supports
startup notification. Thus, use the new GTK-based test client for the SN tests.
