io.open returns nil, an error message and an error code on failure. This
perfectly fits assert which will make the script fail with the error
message. Previously it would fail with "attempted to index a nil value".

This adds a short text with some hopefully helpful pointers to the top
of the index.html generated by ldoc.

This document is based on the "my first awesome"-page in the old wiki.
Large parts of it are taken almost verbatim from it while others were
handled more freely. For example, instead of referring to the man page
for an overview of the available key bindings, this now mentions Mod4+S.
The "Add widgets"-section is just a todo. The wiki page refers to
Vicious which does not really work for our api documentation. However, I
also didn't want to just drop this part.

I am no longer sure why I added this file. It doesn't really belong into
the awesome source code. It is better suited to be added to our web
page, I think.

Cleanup and point to the GitHub page for the recent contributors.
Some older contributors don't have GitHub accounts, so are
invisible, so I left the old list intact.
This commit doesn't add any useful documentation, but adds
previously hidden documentation variables. It can be the basis
of a better layout documentation.
Fix#1246
This function was iterating over a table with pairs() to generate output (the
sample theme file). Since pairs() does not guarantee any iteration order, this
lead to a different order each time this file was generated. This is, for
example, visible in the diffs in the generate api documentation repository.
Fix this by using a self-made iteration function which behaves like pairs(), but
guarantees an iteration order sorted by keys.

It does not provide much value. The version number is already known to
ldoc globally in the "description" variable.

Previously, this mentioned non-existent arguments (widget) and
duplicated parts of the (not yet really existing) API documentation for
find_widgets().

Just because they sound similar to mouse::press and mouse::release does
not mean that the arguments are the same. Perhaps they should be, but
that's another story.

This adds a tparam alias "@screen" for "@tparam screen" (when used to
document e.g. arguments for callbacks), and "@screen_or_idx" when a
function accepts a "screen" or "number".
The default config had tables like mywibox and mywibox[s] was the wibox
that is visible on screen s. When a screen is removed, nothing cleans up
these tables and so the screen and the wibox could not be garbage
collected. The same applies to the layoutbox, taglist etc.
This commit removes the global mywibox table and instead saves it as a
property on the screen. This way, the screen is not explicitly
referenced and when it is removed, the screen, its wibox and all of its
widgets become unreachable and can be garbage collected.
This commit also updates the docs and the tests that referenced things
(mostly the wibox) via mywibox[s] to now use s.mywibox.

This meta-lua script takes the "raw" awesomerc.lua and turn it
into the final file and generate a documentation page from its
parsed content. It support
* Turn {{{ into markdown categories
* Turn top level comments into documentation
* Add custom documentation sections
* Parse the code to add links for each API calls
This helps generate a good entry point for new users wanting to
understand the content of rc.lua without searching the API by
hand.
Over time, this will also become the basis of the documentation.
If `rc.lua` is separated into several files, this will be easy to fix
this script. It could even do the separation itself from a monolitic
file using the already implemented {{{ parser.
This uses the new support introduced in f0f31bc305 in the docs and in
tests/run.sh, removing an useless use of cat/echo.

The requirement to call add_signal() was added to catch typos. However, this
requirement became increasingly annoying with property::<name> signals and e.g.
gears.object allowing arbitrary properties to be changed.
All of this ended up in a single commit because tests/examples fails if I first
let add_signal() emit a deprecation warning.
