Rules refactor, part 1
This fix the following awful.rules bugs:
* **x**: Broken when "border_width" is set or left titlebars are used
* **y**: Borken when"border_width" is set or top titlebars are used
* **width**: See above + right litlebar
* **height**: Same as above
* **switchtotag**: Have a race with the "manage" -> "tag.withcurrent" code in `awful.tag`
* **tag**: Had dead code
* **screen**: Had a race condition with switchtotag
* **urgent**: Had a race with screen and another with switchtotag+focus
* **focusable**: Was broken yet again when request::activate was introduced (and also because of FS1098, that I also fixed)
* **no_overlap**: The "no_overlap" call in rc.lua "manage" section conflict with the geometry rules as the hints are not set (idk why).
* **size_hints_honor**: If set to false, it would be applied too late, causing height and width offsets due to placement or various geometry related properties
The new stateful layout system try to avoid coupling and therefor
doesn't use these methods. It is not planned to deprecate the
stateless layout API, so these functions are just kept as-is with
the old naming convention.
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.
Instead of true/false `merge` can be a callback now, which allows for
more dynamic handling of the client not being visible, e.g. moving it to
the current tag, instead of merging.
This commit makes the code in awful.client work with screen objects where
possible (which is not possible in awful.client.movetoscreen() because it uses
screen_idx + 1).

Before, it was the caller job to make sure the client wasn't floating.
This limitation is unecessary. awful.client.idx now return nil instead
of an error. awful.rules setting the master width factor are now
foolproof.
* This commit add a new module to avoid a (4 level) loop dependency
* It is now possible to call awful.spawn() with a table of properties
* awful.rules is used to execute the rules.
* Everything is public to allow alternative workflow modules such as
Tyrannical to use their own callback implementation.
The default config has this:
awful.key({ modkey, }, "o", awful.client.movetoscreen ),
This moves the client to the next screen and focuses that screen.
But it does not ensure that the client is raised above any existing
windows, e.g. when moving a floating client.
This patch emits the `request::activate` signal if the client is
currently focused, but only if the screen property actually has changed.
Closes https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/98.
Instead of `client.client`, the client object is now referred to as
`client.object` and the client class as `client.class`.
This moves the documentation of `client.focus` to the class.
Closes https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/349.
This adds a `stacked` boolean argument to `awful.client.visible`, and
(relevant) callers of it.
This can be used with e.g. `awful.client.swap.bydirection` to swap clients
based on their stacking order.
Fixes https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/issues/178.
