It is an internal API and is used by `gears.shape`, `gears.pattern`
and `gears.composition` only.
This commit also add `:rotate_at` and `:copy` methods.
This code is imported from Elv13 config and make it very easy
to create shaped objects.
If accepted upstream, other shapes, such as arrow and powerline
will also be added. This commit introsuce the 2 most common
shapes, rounded rectangle and rounded bar.
gears.surface now returns a fallback image surface that is good enough for what
this code tries to do here.

Previously, a Lua error was thrown when loading a file failed. Most callers are
not prepared for this and the result is less than optimal.
This commit makes the functions print the errors and return nil instead. For
callers that want to handle errors themselves, "_silent" variants of the
functions are introduced which just return errors to the caller.

Lua will remove objects as values from a weak table before these objects are
finalized, but as values only in the next garbage collection cycle after the
object was finalized. Up to now, gears.object uses a table with weak keys so
that :disconnect_signal() works. This means that a signal can still call methods
which were already considered garbage by the garbage collector and thus can use
userdata from the C side which was already finalized. Crashes and other bugs
result.
This commit changes the code so that the function is also a value in the weak
table. Thus, the GC will remove the entry before the object is finalized.
Special magic is needed for Lua 5.1, because there only userdata has the
behavior that we want while we have a function. We do some magic with function
environments to make this work...

Usually users want a wallpaper on all their screens. With the current code, this
resulted in a loop of upload-wallpaper, {download-wallpaper, add-new-part,
upload-wallpaper}*.
Fix this by being more intelligent: Instead of setting the wallpaper
immediately, this now uses gears.timer.delayed_call() to set the wallpaper. All
following modifications which come in before the delayed call runs will still be
part of the current update. This should mean that during startup, there is just
a single upload of a wallpaper.
(The above is what happens if there is no wallpaper yet. If there is already
one, we use :create_similar() and thus should only upload the part of the
wallpaper that changed, but this doesn't really make a difference.)
As a side-effect, the new code no longer draws to the old wallpaper to modify
it, but always creates a copy of it. This means that:

This has some positive results on the "benchmark test". Each single number is
the best one out of three runs.
Before:
create wibox: 0.0826502 sec/iter ( 13 iters, 1.157 sec for benchmark)
update textclock: 0.0186952 sec/iter ( 57 iters, 2.473 sec for benchmark)
relayout textclock: 0.0158112 sec/iter ( 64 iters, 1.028 sec for benchmark)
redraw textclock: 0.0015197 sec/iter (662 iters, 1.861 sec for benchmark)
After:
create wibox: 0.0825672 sec/iter ( 13 iters, 1.154 sec for benchmark)
update textclock: 0.00378412 sec/iter (277 iters, 4.216 sec for benchmark)
relayout textclock: 0.00259056 sec/iter (420 iters, 1.09 sec for benchmark)
redraw textclock: 0.00105128 sec/iter (958 iters, 1.79 sec for benchmark)
We see no significant change in the creation of wiboxes (99.9% compared to

are all sped up by this change.

With the second argument being 2, the traceback will not include the error

This adds gears.timer.start(timeout, callback) that creates a timer object and
connects a callback to it, all in one go.
Additionally, this adds gears.timer.weak_start(timeout, callback). The weak
version still allows the callback function to be garbage collected and will then
stop the timer.
This was tested with the following code:
require("gears.timer").start(0.3, function()
print("ping")
if collectgarbage("step", 500) then
print("collection done")
error("err")
end
return true end)
require("gears.timer").weak_start(0.1, function()
io.stdout:write(".")
return true
end)
After a full collection cycle, both timers are stopped. The first one is stopped
because of the error() that it generated. The second one is stopped because the
callback function was garbage collected.

maximized() used to align the image with (0,0) so that it is shifted to the right or bottom. Most wallpapers are designed from the center, so this behavior is not desired usually. With this commit the wallpaper is centered when no offset is set. To get the old behavior use {x=0, y=0} for the offset parameter.
It doesn't make sense for surface.load_uncached() to load a file without
inserting into the cache. The next "cached" load will have to load it again.
So move cache insertion into surface.load_uncached() and the only thing that
surface.load() does differently is checking if we have a suitable cache entry
before calling load_uncached().
So load_uncached() does the cache insertion and load() reads from the cache.

Before commit 1b2826 in lgi, the get_rgba() function on cairo SolidPatterns was
specified like this:
get_rgba = { ret = cairo.Status,
{ ti.double, dir = 'out' },
{ ti.double, dir = 'out' },
{ ti.double, dir = 'out' } },
The above commit fixed this (without saying so) and the code became:
get_rgba = { ret = cairo.Status,
{ ti.double, dir = 'out' },
{ ti.double, dir = 'out' },
{ ti.double, dir = 'out' },
{ ti.double, dir = 'out' } },
The prototype for the corresponding cairo function is:
cairo_public cairo_status_t
cairo_pattern_get_rgba (cairo_pattern_t *pattern,
double *red, double *green,
double *blue, double *alpha);
As you see, this functions gets four double* as arguments and it will save its
result via those pointers. Old versions of lgi call this function with too few
arguments and this will cause a segmentation fault when cairo dereferences an
invalid pointer.

If a drawable has an opaque background, we don't need pseudo transparency and
thus its content don't change when it is moved. However, when we need pseudo
transparency, then we have to redraw the drawable to apply the new background.
Previously we just always did the redraw. This commit adds a helper function
gears.color.create_opaque_pattern() that analyzes a cairo pattern for
transparency. We use this new function to only redraw-on-move when there is
actual pseudo transparency in effect. Otherwise, this redraw can be skipped.
