Previously, the background container "just" used the shape and drew a
line around it. This means that half the line will be inside of the
shape and half of it will be outside. Thus, this hides the actual shape
that is used.
This commit changes that so that the line is added outside of the shape.
It does this via some tricks:
- In :before_draw_children(), :push_group() is used to redirect drawing
of the child widget to a temporary surface.
- In :after_draw_children(), the border is added to this group.
+ For this, another temporary surface is created. It will be used as a
mask.
+ The inside of the shape on this mask is cleared, everything else is
filled. Thus, the mask now contains everything "not content".
+ Everything inside the mask is filled with the background color.
- Also in :after_draw_children(), the group is drawn to the actual
target surface.
+ Again, this needs a mask.
+ This time, we draw the shape to the mask with twice the border width.
Thus, half of this line will be outside of the shape.
+ Then, the shape itself is also filled so that the mask contains the
shape and the border.
+ This mask is then used to copy the right parts of the temporary
surface were the child widget and border was drawn to the actual
target surface that will be visible on screen.
This approach has some upsides. Because we no longer have "half the
border" above content, colors with some transparency work fine for the
border. Also, this should avoid issues with anti-aliasing, because e.g.
the border is not just drawn with the border width, but also further out
to everything else so that the background cannot "bleed through".

* Move table functions out of awful.util into new gears.table
* travis: Use v9999 prefix for full requests
Make sure no newly deprecated functions are used
* Move all `awful.util.table.*` calls to `gears.table.*` calls
Move table test functions from awful/util_spec to new gears/table_spec
Change awful.util.subsets call to gears.math.subsets in awful/key.lua
Creating a widget already sets a metatable (at least these days).
However, wibox.container.scroll overwrote this metatable with its own
metatable. This commit removes this overwrite.

It should be called "align", but the name is already taken
It doesn't use awful.placement because it would break the dependency
graph.
Some cases previously required 2 wibox.layout.align layouts,
one for each axis. This is massively overkill to simply place
a widget at the center of a larger area.
It does not provide much value. The version number is already known to
ldoc globally in the "description" variable.

local functions and metatable based constructors are not
documented unless an explicit @function is added.
Also add missing return values and fix formatting.
