These caches, well, cache the result of the :layout and :fit callbacks on
widgets.
Clearing caches is done by recording dependencies between a widget. When a call
to base.fit_widget() or base.layout_widget() recursively causes another call to
such a function, this means that the earlier widget depends on the later widget.
This dependency is recorded and when the later widget emits
widget::layout_changed, the caches of all the widgets involved are cleared.

This makes the tests for wibox.hierarchy use test_utils.widget_stub() instead of
having its own implementation of "fake widgets".

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.

After this change, fit_widget() enforces that a widget cannot ask for more space
than was offered to it. This also fixes a rounding issue in the flex layout
where its fit function would return too small numbers.
Thanks to this, lots of "XXX" comments in spec/ disappear.

Busted now only provides the magic modules `assert`, `spy` etc for
the busted context. The helper module `spec/wibox/test_utils.lua`
therefore needs to explicitly require them.

This uses busted (http://olivinelabs.com/busted/) to implement unit testing.
This is wired up to "make check" and/or "make test".
This commit also adds tests for the more complicated parts of the gears and
wibox.layout libraries.
