I have no idea why this needs collectgarbage() to be called twice.
On the other hand, I can explain the change in tooltip.lua. Lua 5.2 introduced
"ephermeron tables". This means that in the following sitation, lua 5.2 can
collect the entry from the table, while 5.1 keeps the entry alive, because the
table has a strong reference to the value and that in turn has a strong
reference to the key:
t = setmetatable({}, { __mode = "k"})
do
local k = {}
t[k] = function() print(k) end
end
collectgarbage("collect")
print(next(t, nil))
To handle this incompatibility, this commit just removes the whole indirection
through the module-level variable "data".

This commit does two things: It gets rid of the reference to the layoutbox that
the default config created and it changes the widget dependency cache to not
keep widgets alive unnecessarily.

Again, instead of directly connecting to various signals for updating a
tasklist, this commit changes the code so that there is just a single, global
connections and based on this a weak table with all tasklist instances is used
do the updates.

Similar to what the previous commit does for layoutboxes, this changes the code
for the taglist so that there is only a single, global connection to the various
signals and these update all taglists via weak tables.
