If g_date_time_format() fails, it returns a NULL pointer. This change
makes the textclock detect this and print a warning. This warning
contains 'g_date_time_format()' so that people can ask their favorite
search engine for the supported formats of this function. This warning
also contains the actual format string so that all the information is
available in one place and possible bug reports hopefully include the
format string.

Since beautiful.xresources.get_dpi(s) allows nil as argument to query
some "global DPI", the functions to query the size of a textbox also
allowed to use nil as the screen, even though this was never documented
to work. Commit a137655791 broke this by assuming a valid screen
object.
This commit makes a nil argument work again, but will cause a
deprecation warning in awesome 5.

Once upon a time, beautiful.xresources.get_dpi was added to query
Xft.dpi. That made sense since this queried an xresources property. Over
time, other, non-xresources-based ways to query DPI were added to this
function. Now, it makes no more sense to have this function here.
Also, recently it became possible to add new properties to C objects
from Lua code. Thus, we no longer need to have a get_dpi() function
somewhere, but can add s.dpi directly.
Thus, this commit adds s.dpi and makes everything use it. No functional
changes are intended.

When doing w.shape_bounding = foo on a wibox, the code would first read
shape_bounding from the underlying drawin. This would create a
(possibly) huge cairo image surface that just waits to be collected by
the garbage collector, resulting in increased memory usage.
Fix this by checking the force_forward table first. This tables contains
the names of shape properties. Thus, the evaluation of this statement
gets short-circuited and the property is on the drawin is not read.

This commit changes the systray widget, wibox.drawable and the C code to
fix the following bug: When the systray widget is removed from a
drawable without being moved somewhere else, the systray stayed visible.
This was because the systray is not drawn by awesome, but only placed.
When the widget is no longer "drawn", it stays wherever it was placed
last.
This change works by detecting the situation when the systray is
removed. Then, the C code is specifically told to remove the systray
window from the drawable.
Note that this is only a partial fix. This change works correctly when
the widget is removed completely, because it is no longer placed by its
parent widget. However, for example, when you do
wibox.widget.systray().visible = false, the effect is just that the
systray widget gets size 0x0. This is not really visible, but as far as
this change is concerned, the widget is still part of the drawable.

Up to now, a drawable always figured out the screen that it is on by
looking at its position. This causes memleak-like problems with wibars:
A wibar has a screen assigned, but its underlying drawable will end up
referring to another screen. Via this, we were managing to build a long
reference chain of screens and drawable that meant that none of the fake
screens that our test suite added could be garbage collected.
To fix this, add wibox.drawable._force_screen(s). After this function is
called, the normal screen detection based on the position is skipped and
instead the given screen is always used. This breaks the above reference
chain and things become garbage-collectable.
Also, this chains the drawable to the life time of the screen: When the
screen becomes invalid (.valid == false), the drawable will stop
redrawing.

Previously, the API to set the data that should be displayed was
:set_data(t) where t is a table. This table has the labels to use as its
keys and the numbers as its values. With this API, it was not possible
to influence the order in which the "pie pieces" were drawn.
This commit adds and uses a new API called :set_data_list(t). Here, t is
a table with integer keys and tables as values, thus one can iterate
over this with ipairs() and the order is well-defined. The tables used
as values contain the label as their first entry and the number as their
second entry.

Instead of matrix_to_device and matrix_to_parent, this now provides the
full hierarchy instance managing the current widget.
In addition to x, y, width and height (which are an over-approximation
of the widget's extents on the drawable), this now also provides
widget_width and widget_height in the widget's local coordinate system.
These last two values are exact.
For example, the tooltip needs x/y/width/height while a widget that
wants to figure out which point on it was hit with a mouse press will
need widget_width and widget_height (together with the position argument
that is passed in with mouse::press).
I don't know how to document the return type of this function properly.
Hopefully just describing the structure of the resulting table is good
enough.

LGI does not protect against use-after-free issues that can occur due to
using an object after finalisation. This manifests itself as occasional
crashes on Travis in cairo_region_union_rectangle() (AFAIK no one ran
into this issue in real-world usage).
Since visible drawables are always strongly reachable, the issue can
only occur with invisible drawables. The previous commit made sure that
those are fully repainted when they become visible, so we can just
ignore redraws for those and fix the crash issue.
Signed-off-by: Uli Schlachter <psychon@znc.in>
Instead of tracking all drawables that are alive, the code now only
tracks visible drawables. When a drawable is made visible it is
completely repainted. This should not cause a difference when a wibox is
initially made visible, because it has to be redrawn anyway. However,
this introduces a full repaint when a wibox is hidden and then made
visible again.
Thanks to this change, we can stop using weak tables. Visible drawables
cannot be collected and so we can keep a strong reference to them. This
allows us to get rid of the weak tables which solves various problems
involving finalizers and using objects after finalisation.

This restore a feature that was available in Awesome 2.1-3.2.
The reason margin is implemented rather than use a container is to
be able to make the background smaller than the bar.
The current progressbar code dates from a time when Awesome had
a very limited drawing API. This commit first re-write the
algorithm to remove the workaround used to draw the border using
full rectangles only. It then add support for outer and inner
shapes with their respective border settings.
This commit also add clip support. This is enabled by default, but
could be disabled to have the bar taller than the background.
Twice now we had problems with the garbage collector which caused signals
established via weak_connect_signal() not to be disconnected when we wanted them
to be disconnected. The effect was that we tried to redraw a drawable after it
was garbage collected which caused errors.
Instead of playing whack-a-mole with all the various ways that might make us
redraw a drawable after GC, let's just fix all of these issues by explicitly
checking for this case and turning it into a no-op.

The previous commit made wibox.drawable turn a "normal redraw" into a complete
repaint when it was moved to another screen. However, nothing happened until
that normal redraw.
This commit triggers a normal redraw when we are (possibly) moved to another
screen. More precise, this means that whenever a screen appears, disappears or
changes its geometry and when the drawable is moved, we trigger a normal redraw.
This redraw will likely do nothing, because no relayout is pending and no part
of the surface needs a redraw, so it is cheap.
However, if the drawable really ends up on another screen, then the code from
the previous commits makes us do a full relayout and redraw.
This commit likely fixes the current instability of test-screen-changes.lua. See
https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/issues/982#issuecomment-231712056.
As explained there, the test fails because the fake screen that it created is
still referenced, so cannot be garbage collected, but the test doesn't succeed
unless the screen is garbage collected. So something is still referencing the
screen that was removed. This something can be a client's titlebar, because the
underlying drawable still has a context member referring to the old screen.
This commit should fix that problem, because we now trigger a redraw which will
compute a new context and thus the reference to the old screen is released.

It was set as `module` instead of `class` because ldoc was confused

Also add missing return values and fix formatting.
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.
As wibox contain a drawin, but isn't one, it is necessary to map
drawin to wibox.
This could eventually be fixed by turning wibox into drawin just
like the client, tag and screen do.
When there are no screens, screen[1] causes an error. Thus, this isn't a safe

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
"clean" way to have programmatic brushes.

Until now, this layout was "append only". There was no official
APIs to remove, replace, insert and swap widgets. This is fine
