local functions and metatable based constructors are not
documented unless an explicit @function is added.
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
fallback for these functions. Instead, this commit makes the code prefer the
primary screen, if possible. If no screen exists, then screen.primary will be
nil, but at least it won't throw an error like screen[1] does.
(This also changes the outdated copy of getbycoord that exists in
wibox.drawable)

This makes it possible to have the systray only visible on the primary screen,
which is the new default value. This also makes it possible to configure
directly on which screen the systray should be visible.
This breaks the API in the sense that people who use "the old method" to
configure the systray's screen possibly don't have a systray.

There's no point in having multiple instances of this, because there are no
per-instance settings and the systray can only be visible in a single place at a
time anyway.

* Better widget names when using the declarative syntax
* Add ratio.get_ratio to avoid using the private API
* Also support `set_widget` when swapping widgets
Issues involve:
- :layout() had the wrong signature and expected a cr argument that was left
from when this was still the :draw() function.
- horizontal and vertical reflection were mixed up (I guess it has always been
this way?)
- The return value should be a table of widget placements. Instead it was just a
single widget placement.
This is broken since commit 85ab3f045b.

This commit makes these methods invoke the method on a widget in a protected
context. Thanks to this, e.g. the wibox and other widgets are protected from
errors in a child widget.
Additionally, fit_widget() now assumes 0 if a widget's :fit() method didn't
provide a number.

I just spent too much time tracking down a bug that happened while drawing a
widget. This is the reason why we should apply sanity checks while widgets are
constructed, so that we get a useful backtrace.

This makes the code use the existing functions for setting widgets. That way,
all the sanity checks that the existing functions have are applied for this code
as well.
I just spent half an hour tracking down a bug where a boolean ended up as a
"widget" in a fixed layout. The symptom was that while drawing the widget, an
error happened. Via this change, the error would instead be flagged while
constructing the widget.

This commit documents that a textbox already accepts a screen object where a
screen index is expected. Also, this changes the widget API in that a widget's
context.screen is now a screen object instead of a screen index.

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.
It's unused since commit 0aa4304bda. Before this was a stable sorting
algorithm since table.sort is allowed to be unstable. Apparently we don't need a
stable sorting algorithm anymore.

Until now, this layout was "append only". There was no official
APIs to remove, replace, insert and swap widgets. This is fine
for the usual wibox + sensors widget used by the majority of
users, but lack flexibility necessary to use the layout system
to place dynamic elements such as clients.
The methods introduced by this commit are also recursive. This
allow widgets to be decorated, wrapped and splitted without
having to add boilerplate code everywhere.
This remove duplicated code and will allow more "collection"
style layouts to be implemented without logic duplication.
This commit also do some small cleanup to remove duplicated
code now present in `awful.util`.

Instead of throwing a Lua error, the code now just prints an error message to
stderr on invalid markup. For callers which want to handle this case specially,
we add :set_markup_silently() which returns error messages.
