This is the successor of `awful.screen.connect_for_each_screen`-like
functions using the signal system itself "meta signals?". For signals
such as requests that need to be fullfilled at startup, the previous
API didn't "feel" native. Now it is possible for Lua to react to
global signal connections and call the handler itself.
This is intended to be used as a building block of a consistency
refactoring.
It could eventually be extended with an ugly global
`block_next_connection`. To allow filtering for signals that can
only have a single connection. So far it isn't required, so lets
not polute this patch with such hack.
* naughty.legacy: Fix a regression caused by a prior fix.
The title was only set "later" because it was called too early.
The intended result was to prevent the code from being executed when
there is no leagcy popup, but it had this side effect.
* naughty.dbus: Expose the new "private" methods so they can be tested.
Because it now uses Gio instead of capi.dbus, it isn't possible to
just shim the backend anymore.
* shims: Upgrade the dbus shims to also emulate some Gio behavior.
As usual, it is the most basic version that produces the correct
result. It doesn't try to comply to the real API.
The tests for naughty are currently broken, because naughty.dbus now
uses Gio for interacting with DBus, but the tests still try to use
awesome's dbus object. Turn the resulting weird error into something a
lot less cryptic.

Previously, it would use the "real" args passed to the constructor.
It was a bad decision since:
* It doesn't allow the tag/tasklist to add properties internally
* It forces the widget to be created with a constructor rather than
the alternate declarative syntax
* It doesn't allow a tag/tasklist to be part of a widget_template
Technically this is a behavior change, but I doubt anybody will notice
given it is a dark and little documented corner of the API. Chances are
nobody have been using this API for years.
With this helper, it becomes possible to avoid manually setting common
properties such as the client in the tasklist of tag in the taglist when
the children widgets of the template have a set_+property_name.
This decision was taken out of necessity. While adding more style
elements to `awful.widget.common` isn't something I want, there is
little else to do here. The problem is that popup based lists only
have size constraints in one direction. So without a way to limit
the icon size, it will take 9999 pixels.
This will avoid some copy/paste in future tests.
The commit also fixes a typo and a missing --DOC_NO_DASH which breaks
rendering with one of the markdown implementation.
It makes some code easier to write. It is mostly useful when the margins
are exposed through another widget. In that case it avoids having to
proxy 5 different property or re-invent the wheel there.
Previously, the border "support" was limited to shapes and would not
move the content by the offset of the border. Borders are now better
supported and thus renamed from `shape_border_width` to `border_width.
In the end, shrinking the widget by the border size is too common to
ignore. It should have been the default all along, just like the clip.
Once the signals get propagated, it means "manage" will call code before
the metatable is set. If this happens and it sets some properties, they
will perpetually bypass the `awful.client.object` handler.
Given there is some async wibox redraw operations, there is a tiny,
tiny chance the test suite callback will be executed before the
redraw. It has been seen on the CI, so it is not 100% impossible.
