Cleanup and point to the GitHub page for the recent contributors.
Some older contributors don't have GitHub accounts, so are
invisible, so I left the old list intact.
This commit doesn't add any useful documentation, but adds
previously hidden documentation variables. It can be the basis
of a better layout documentation.
Fix#1246
This function was iterating over a table with pairs() to generate output (the
sample theme file). Since pairs() does not guarantee any iteration order, this
lead to a different order each time this file was generated. This is, for
example, visible in the diffs in the generate api documentation repository.
Fix this by using a self-made iteration function which behaves like pairs(), but
guarantees an iteration order sorted by keys.

It does not provide much value. The version number is already known to
ldoc globally in the "description" variable.

Previously, this mentioned non-existent arguments (widget) and
duplicated parts of the (not yet really existing) API documentation for
find_widgets().

Just because they sound similar to mouse::press and mouse::release does
not mean that the arguments are the same. Perhaps they should be, but
that's another story.

This adds a tparam alias "@screen" for "@tparam screen" (when used to
document e.g. arguments for callbacks), and "@screen_or_idx" when a
function accepts a "screen" or "number".
The default config had tables like mywibox and mywibox[s] was the wibox
that is visible on screen s. When a screen is removed, nothing cleans up
these tables and so the screen and the wibox could not be garbage
collected. The same applies to the layoutbox, taglist etc.
This commit removes the global mywibox table and instead saves it as a
property on the screen. This way, the screen is not explicitly
referenced and when it is removed, the screen, its wibox and all of its
widgets become unreachable and can be garbage collected.
This commit also updates the docs and the tests that referenced things
(mostly the wibox) via mywibox[s] to now use s.mywibox.

This meta-lua script takes the "raw" awesomerc.lua and turn it
into the final file and generate a documentation page from its
parsed content. It support
* Turn {{{ into markdown categories
* Turn top level comments into documentation
* Add custom documentation sections
* Parse the code to add links for each API calls
This helps generate a good entry point for new users wanting to
understand the content of rc.lua without searching the API by
hand.
Over time, this will also become the basis of the documentation.
If `rc.lua` is separated into several files, this will be easy to fix
this script. It could even do the separation itself from a monolitic
file using the already implemented {{{ parser.
This uses the new support introduced in f0f31bc305 in the docs and in
tests/run.sh, removing an useless use of cat/echo.

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 system allow containers, widgets and layouts to be listed in
the documentation with an example screenshot.
It uses raw HTML due to ldoc limitations, but as it is autogenerated,
it wont be user visible.
This was only partly converted to markdown. It still refers to wiki pages with
wiki syntax, because we first have to decide on what happens with the wiki
before this can be updated.

This is the current version of the FAQ in the wiki converted to markdown, but
some IMO bogus content was stripped (e.g. references to awesome being a
non-reparenting WM).

ldoc doesn't allow to specify fields from class "A" into class "B",
so the only solution is to merge the 2.
Also, one of the most common complain on IRC since Awesome 3.0 is
that the client API doc is confusing since it is in 2 different files.
Also restore the `awful.client` doc link, point to `client`
This will avoid broken links.
Previously, the `Signals` section was shown before the `Functions`.
This was confusing and different from other framework documentation.
It partially work. Not all ldoc output display the functions at the
top, but some does. Previously, none did.
This commit also add 3 new sections:
* property: For object properties, replacing the "fields" table
from the current documentations.
* deprecated: For deprecated methods
* beautiful: For widgets theme options
