The code here has things like "if cache.bgb" which suggests that "bgb"
(great name, by the way) is supposed to be optional. However,
31b8623ff6 made this thing definitely not optional by making it
*the* widget that is displayed. That feels wrong.
Also, after the above commit, the ".primary" entry is no longer used,
which is at least surprising for something which is called "primary".
None of this is explicitly documented (I didn't find anything when
looking for "primary" in common.lua nor tasklist.lua; I know that there
are examples for using this, but still that doesn't say how this is
supposed to work), so I'm not quite sure how this was intended to work.
Instead, I am just proposing this commit as a better fix with the above
rational and see what feedback I get...

This commit allow user defined delegates to be used as list elements.
This put an end to the endless attempt to cram more features into this
code.
A widget template (non-instantiated) is passed to the arguments and
is created by the common code. It also supports "roles" where some
user defined widgets can replace the old textbox or imagebox.
The old function didn't scale at all. As no replacements are going
to be merged anytime soon, start to make it meta-extensible.
This is the first step to be able to let the widget be extended
directly from rc.lua without adding yet more silly parameters.
It never scaled and has reached the point of no return a very long
time ago.
My first ever contribution to Awesome was to attempt to fix this,
but the solution was a bad hack. The radical module later solved
this by delegating the style, layout, theme, item layout and item
style to various "visitor" objects. While this is superior to this
commit, it was also a very large and complicated codebase. After
5 years, it is now obvious it will never be merged "whole".
Do it now since the future awful.popup and notification widget
also uses it.
The `load_ldoc.cmake` changes allow to include `.ldoc` blocks in
existing ldoc comments. Previously, it added some extra newlines
and an autogenerated comments saying the content below was imported.
The problem is that this prevented the system to be used for shared
function arguments.
This commit also renames the `wibar` argument table from `arg` to
`args` as the name has to be the same in the `wibox` and `wibar`
constructor for this to work.
The ratio, fixed and flex layout can now display a widget between
each layout elements.
The align layout was left out because it doesn't support spacing
As long as Awesome provides APIs that uses pixels are points, this
cannot be enabled by default.
For example, a wibar size defined in pixels may be too small to
render the text once a dense display is connected.
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.

The code in menubar.icon_theme naively implements the algorithm from the
base dir specification. This is a problem: On this system,
/usr/share/icons/{Adwaita,hicolor}/index.theme list 91, respectively 649
subdirectories. Since we check for three file extensions (png, svg,
xpm), this means that a failing icon lookup for the Adwaita theme checks
for (91+649)*3 = 2220 files (in practice it might be a bit better since
the directories have specific meanings, but still). That's insane.
Since we only use this code for looking up category icons anyway, just
deprecate this mess. Category icons are now looked up in the same way
that icons for individual applications are looked up.
Since menubar.init does not require("menubar.icon_theme"), this means
that menubar.icon_theme is no longer actually loaded. That's bad.

This is a slight API break, but should not cause many problems for
people. This makes parse_desktop_file() handle the type of keys
correctly, so that e.g. booleans are actually parsed as booleans. Also,
locale-sensitive entries are now looked up in a way that obeys the
current locale.

This replaces our own, hand-written parser of desktop files with the one
that GLib provides. No functional changes intended.

If a tag is specified by name, but no such tags exist, awful.rules would
cause an error (attempt to index a nil value). Fix this and add a test
for this case.

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.
