This has some positive results on the "benchmark test". Each single number is
the best one out of three runs.
Before:
create wibox: 0.0826502 sec/iter ( 13 iters, 1.157 sec for benchmark)
update textclock: 0.0186952 sec/iter ( 57 iters, 2.473 sec for benchmark)
relayout textclock: 0.0158112 sec/iter ( 64 iters, 1.028 sec for benchmark)
redraw textclock: 0.0015197 sec/iter (662 iters, 1.861 sec for benchmark)
After:
create wibox: 0.0825672 sec/iter ( 13 iters, 1.154 sec for benchmark)
update textclock: 0.00378412 sec/iter (277 iters, 4.216 sec for benchmark)
relayout textclock: 0.00259056 sec/iter (420 iters, 1.09 sec for benchmark)
redraw textclock: 0.00105128 sec/iter (958 iters, 1.79 sec for benchmark)
We see no significant change in the creation of wiboxes (99.9% compared to
before). Update (20% of the previous run time), relayout (16%) and redraw (69%)
are all sped up by this change.

These caches, well, cache the result of the :layout and :fit callbacks on
widgets.
Clearing caches is done by recording dependencies between a widget. When a call
to base.fit_widget() or base.layout_widget() recursively causes another call to
such a function, this means that the earlier widget depends on the later widget.
This dependency is recorded and when the later widget emits
widget::layout_changed, the caches of all the widgets involved are cleared.

This makes the tests for wibox.hierarchy use test_utils.widget_stub() instead of
having its own implementation of "fake widgets".

A widget hierarchy describes the position of widgets. The hierarchy is a
recursive tree of widget hierarchy instances. This functionality depends on a
:layout function that is not yet implemented on widgets, but will be added
later.

After this change, fit_widget() enforces that a widget cannot ask for more space
than was offered to it. This also fixes a rounding issue in the flex layout
where its fit function would return too small numbers.
Thanks to this, lots of "XXX" comments in spec/ disappear.

Busted now only provides the magic modules `assert`, `spy` etc for
the busted context. The helper module `spec/wibox/test_utils.lua`
therefore needs to explicitly require them.

This uses busted (http://olivinelabs.com/busted/) to implement unit testing.
This is wired up to "make check" and/or "make test".
This commit also adds tests for the more complicated parts of the gears and
wibox.layout libraries.
