This extracts the code for finding the next screen
from focus_bydirection to a separate method on
the screen object.
The main reason was to use the finding code without
actually changing the screen focus but this should
incidentally make the code slightly easier to test
as well since both concerns can be tested in
isolation.

This makes things fail loudly which otherwise fail without giving a hint
on what went wrong.

If the caller provides a file name, these function load the image, set
it as the wallpaper and make sure that the memory used for the image
data is freed immediately. However, this was also done when the caller
provided a cairo surface, thus breaking their surface.
Fix the code so that it does not finish surfaces that it did not create
itself.

Also save some boilerplate code.
This closes the gap between timer.start_new and timer.new. Now the
only difference is that one have a special callback format while
the other only has predefined properties.
We already have a variant of this function for transforming an actual
matrix. This adds the corresponding static factory.

For some reason, the code here tried to handle widget::redraw_needed
signals even though it should apparently/obviously only produce a
current snapshot of the widget's look.
Fix this by just removing the redraw code.
While here, also factor out the widget context table into a local
variable and re-use it for the initial layout and for the later draw.

It does not provide much value. The version number is already known to
ldoc globally in the "description" variable.

Previously, gears.object.properties used a weak table for adding
additional information to a C object. However, weak tables can easily
cause leaks when the value references the key.
This commit makes the code instead use the new .data property that is
available on all C objects. This means we have no more magic with a weak
table and instead only use "regular" tables instead.

All other shape did it. While it usually have no side effects,
as seen in #920 screenshot from @actionless, there is instances
where this produce a invalid rectangle.
The requirement to call add_signal() was added to catch typos. However, this
requirement became increasingly annoying with property::<name> signals and e.g.
gears.object allowing arbitrary properties to be changed.
All of this ended up in a single commit because tests/examples fails if I first
let add_signal() emit a deprecation warning.

Similar systems already exist un luaobject, wibox and the declarative
widget system. This close the gap and also bring the property based
syntax to wibox and other gears.object users.
While this need to be enabled explicitly for legacy reasons, it
doesn't break the API.
Once widespread, this implementation will replace the one found
in wibox.widget.base_widget.
The code in gears.wallpaper currently sets a wallpaper in a deferred fashion.
Only a while after it is told to do something does it actually do the wallpaper
change. This is to incorporate many wallpaper changes right after another. These
changes happens during startup where the wallpaper for each screen is set one
after another.
However, since we no longer restart on RandR changes, the screen configuration
could change while we have a pending wallpaper. In this case, part of the
wallpaper could be "chopped off", because the surface that we draw the wallpaper
to is too small.
This commit makes gears.wallpaper track the size of the pending wallpaper and
create a new surface if the already-pending one is too small.

gears modules usually don't depend on Awesome C-API. This code has
been placed there for unclear reasons.
Also, there is ongoing work to unify each "concepts" API into one
single page. Having `gears.screen` go against this effort.
This adds gears.screen which contains a wrapper around
screen.connect_signal("added", func) that also calls the callback function for
each screen that already exists. This is added in gears.screen so that it can
also be used from e.g. wibox, if needed. Feel free to move this elsewhere if
that's a bad idea (I'm not really convinced of it).

Instead of using a special _call field on gears.matrix instances which has to be
copied around suitably, this commit changes the code so that the magic is
restricted to a single function in gears.shape.transform. With some metatable
magic, suitable redirection to everything is added.

Wallpapers are usually big images that use up a lot of memory. This commit makes
gears.wallpaper call :finish() on all involved surface to make them free their
memory.
This is a lot faster than waiting for the garbage collector to collect these
surfaces. Due to the large size of wallpapers, such a special case makes sense
for this code.

Loading a file normally has the same behaviour as before. First the cache is
checked and if nothing is found, the file is loaded and cached.
This commit changes the behaviour of loading a file uncached. This no longer
removes the file from the cache if it is cached (why should it?) and also does
not put it in the cache.
This means that users of load_uncached and load_uncached_silently can now freely
modify the resulting surface without interfering with other API users.

This library is a wrapper around pcall() / xpcall() that prints an error message
via gears.debug.print_error() in case of errors.

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.

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.

Before this, calling one of the loading functions with a nil argument always
made it return the default 0x0 surface. With this change, the passed-in default
value is now properly applied.
