Since the screen removal patchset, the tags properties were
cleaned too early. This caused code connecting to "property::activated"
to be called with the tag already partially deleted. For code depending
on those properties, such as radical.impl.taglist, this caused errors.
Apparently, there is such thing as not leaking enough...

Similar systems already exist un luaobject, wibox and the declarative
widget system. This close the gap and also bring the property based
syntax to wibox and other gears.object users.
While this need to be enabled explicitly for legacy reasons, it
doesn't break the API.
Once widespread, this implementation will replace the one found
in wibox.widget.base_widget.
Why:
* Two different (but related) concepts had the same name
* Users were confused for years on IRC
* The wibar name was already in use in some doc to avoid confusion
This was only partially implemented. The margins were substracted from
the area too early in the pipeline. Now, they are added when getting
the size and substracted when setting it. This way, the margins will
"survive" when a placement function set an absolute value in one of
the field. Previously, this caused one (or more) of the margins to
be lost.
Before this commit, it was necessary to call 'rawset' to be
able to add new fields to the wibox. This is no longer required.
This solution was choosen because wibox is itself a base class of
menus and wibars. Those classes can now add new properties without
hacks.
This commit changes the markup applied to the action description text to
emphasize the fact that the action zone is actually clickable. Bold is
replaced with underline, the Unicode 261B symbol (right pointer) is
added as well.
According to the Desktop Notification specification document [1] the
clients supply actions available along with a notification in a form of
a list of pairs where first element is an identifier of an action and
the second is a localized message that will be displayed to the user.
Up to now the naughty code directly used the action identifier text as a
part of the notification layout exposed to the user. This commit makes
use of a localized action description for that purpose.

The problem was that get_square_distance() made the screen one pixel larger to
the bottom/right than it really was. Thus, the (x+0,y+0)-pixel of a screen that
was below or to the right of some other screen had distance zero to both of
these screens.
This commit fixes the screen size computation and adds a small unit test for
getbycoord() and get_square_distance().

The code in gears.wallpaper currently sets a wallpaper in a deferred fashion.
Only a while after it is told to do something does it actually do the wallpaper
change. This is to incorporate many wallpaper changes right after another. These
changes happens during startup where the wallpaper for each screen is set one
after another.
However, since we no longer restart on RandR changes, the screen configuration
could change while we have a pending wallpaper. In this case, part of the
wallpaper could be "chopped off", because the surface that we draw the wallpaper
to is too small.
This commit makes gears.wallpaper track the size of the pending wallpaper and
create a new surface if the already-pending one is too small.

When not including standard::type in the query for children of a file then Gio
may not look up this information. This might work on some file systems (e.g.
ext4), but other (apparently XFS) do not provide the needed file type

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
Remove request::fullscreen and request::maximized_* and use
a single request for them. The other client resizing features
will soon also start to use this.
Due to recent changes, it was no longer possible to disable the

Testing demonstrated that many rule properties were broken when used
together. This commit try to address this by forcing an execution order
that doesn't trigger the problems.
It is still possible to write broken rules, but it should not happen by
accident anymore. Users should not try to assign the client a tag on
screen 2 and also use screen=screen[1].
This commit also add a 3 step process to apply rules.
Testing showed that many rules are currently broken because
of execution races.
Create a new dynamic tag for the client.
There was many unfixable race conditions that could only be
solved by better integrating the request:: system and
awful.rules. This has the side effect to make rules mandatory.
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.
gears modules usually don't depend on Awesome C-API. This code has
been placed there for unclear reasons.
Also, there is ongoing work to unify each "concepts" API into one
single page. Having `gears.screen` go against this effort.
This re-use the `align` code for the existing `centered`,
`center_horizontal` and `center_vertical` methods. It also
add all the other edges and corners alias.
This allow to place a client, wibox or cursor at the
edges, corners or center of the parent geometry.
This also add code from `awful.wibox` to ajust the workarea.
Future commit will use `awful.placement` to place `awful.wibox`.
This adds gears.screen which contains a wrapper around
screen.connect_signal("added", func) that also calls the callback function for
each screen that already exists. This is added in gears.screen so that it can
also be used from e.g. wibox, if needed. Feel free to move this elsewhere if
that's a bad idea (I'm not really convinced of it).

Since commit b2aaefd095, we correctly handle window gravities when
the border width of a client changes. Since most windows out there have a
NorthWest gravity, this means that most windows do not have this problem.
However, e.g. mplayer uses gravity "Static" and this causes this issue (any
gravity other than NorthWest will do).
This affects the fullscreen handling in awful.ewmh. The code has to set the
border width before it changes a client's geometry so that the move when the
border width changes doesn't matter.
No new integration test for this since I didn't find anything usable with a
non-NorthWest gravity. A test would be easy to write, just test if `c.fullscreen
= true ; c.fullscreen = false` restores the previous window geometry.

This layout allow each widgets to take 'r' percent of the total
space, where 'r' is configurable.
It re-implement the 'wfact' system used by `awful.layout.suit.tile`
This layout display the widgets on top of each other. It can also optionally
display only the first one.
The most common use case is to create a composited widget. Other use case
include the creation of a "paged" stack to only display the most
relevant widget without adding extra complexity to the parent layout.
This new syntax is inspired by the Awesome widget 3.2-3.4 API. It
allow cleaner widgets declaration. The produced code is usually much
shorted and easier to read than wibox.widget imperative syntax.
There is already a hack into `awful.widget.common`. This system aim
to make the hack obselete while preserving the useful part.
I think this is also necessary to properly support SVG (with DPI
and resize).
Finally, Qt handle this using the QBrush concept, where you can have
programmatic patterns. Cairo doesn't have this concept, so there is no

Any awful.titlebar.widget.button widget (e.g. floatingbutton or closebutton)
decides on the currently visible symbol based on several factors. One of them is
"is the client currently focused?" and thus the button has to be updated when
the client is focused/unfocused.
The way the code did this was to use client.connect_signal("focus", f) and
client.connect_signal("unfocus", f). However, these signals are never
disconnected and kept alive forever. The callback function had a strong
reference to the client (as an upvalue) and thus this also prevented the client
from being garbage collected.
Fix this by using c:connect_signal("focus/unfocis", f) instead. These kind of
signals are only kept alive by the client object and don't prevent it from being
garbage collected.

APIs to remove, replace, insert and swap widgets. This is fine

Go around a limitation of the lua language spec. The return value
of this method guaranteed `ipairs()` correctness.
Please note that both the official Lua and Luajit implementation
provide a sparse table compatible `ipairs()` and __len implementation
by default.
It is an internal API and is used by `gears.shape`, `gears.pattern`
and `gears.composition` only.
This commit also add `:rotate_at` and `:copy` methods.
It is necessary to have it beforehand when creating layout objects
for unselected layouts.
In the current layout system, there is no layout object, but to allow
tabs and dynamic tagging features like ion3, layouts cannot be stateless.
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 code is imported from Elv13 config and make it very easy
to create shaped objects.
If accepted upstream, other shapes, such as arrow and powerline
will also be added. This commit introsuce the 2 most common
shapes, rounded rectangle and rounded bar.
This allow the most basic kind of stateful layouts to be created.
It is now possible to have layout instances instead of global
stateless layout arrange functions.
This allow layout "arrange" to be called less often and react on
the cause of the change itself rather than it's consequences
(usually, the "focus" signal).
Previously, the layout were re-arranged everytime the focus changed.
Now, with "raised" and "lowered", it require less "arrange".
"swapped" allow smarted layouts. Currently, swapped cause a full
re-arrange. It re-read the "index" list from scratch and create
a "new" layout. With "swapped", incremental layout changes are
possible.
