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.

Before this, dependencies between widgets where implicitly discovered by
recursive calls to base.fit_widget() and base.layout_widget(). However, it is
too easy to get this wrong (just call one of these functions from outside of a
widget's :fit() / :layout() function) and the resulting mess would be hard to
debug.
Thus, this commit changes the API so that callers have to identify themselves
and we can explicitly record the dependency between the widgets involved.
This also fixes a bug where no dependencies were tracked for widgets after
:set_visible(false). Whoops...
Sorry for breaking the API for adding this.

This accidentally called the draw callbacks with a nil argument instead of the
context. This was introduced in some badly done rebase, sorry! :-(

The parent was needed for :get_matrix_to_device() which recursively walked
parents and multiplied together their transformation matrices. This is now
replaced by calculating all these matrices while constructing the hierarchy.

There once was a function :get_root() on hierarchies, but that wasn't needed any
more and thus was removed. This commit also removes the internal code that was
used to record the root element of the hierarchy.

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.
