We have many places where we are sending an XCB request and expect an
answer where the protocol guarantees that no error can occur and we are
sure to get an answer. However, for example if the X11 server crashes,
these places can still fail. This commit tries to handle failures at all
these places.
I went through the code and tried to add missing error checking (well,
NULL-pointer-checking) to all affected places.
In most cases these errors are just silently ignored. The exception is
in screen querying during startup. If, for example, querying RandR info
fails, we will fall back to Xinerama or zaphod mode. This is serious
enough that it warrants a warning. In most cases, we should exit shortly
afterwards anyway, because, as explained above, these requests should
only fail when our connection to the X11 server breaks.

The code in luaA_client_swap() is incorrect, because
luaA_object_emit_signal() already pops the arguments to the signal.
Still, the code here tried to remove the arguments from the Lua stack
again, thereby corrupting the stack (removing more items than there are
in the stack).
Normally, popping more things from the stack than it has entries
silently corrupts the Lua stack. Apparently this doesn't necessarily
cause any immediate issues, because this code has been broken since nine
months and no one noticed. This mistakes was introduced in commit
55190646.
This issue was only noticed by accident. Thus, this commit also adds a
small integration test that exercises this bug. This test catches the
issue, but only on Travis, because there we are building our own version
of Lua 5.3 and that one has assertions enabled.

Daniel sees a short flicker of his wallpaper when he closes a client.
This happens because the window is destroyed immediately, but other
clients are re-arranged only shortly later. In the mean time, the X
server updates the display and repaints the root window (= wallpaper
becomes visible).
Work around this by delaying the destruction of frame windows to the end
of the current main loop iteration. This means that we first update the
position of all other windows and later destroy the window that was
actually closed.

This adds a tparam alias "@screen" for "@tparam screen" (when used to
document e.g. arguments for callbacks), and "@screen_or_idx" when a
function accepts a "screen" or "number".
There are some situations where we do things that can make the mouse pointer
enter another window. We do not want to react to these "self inflicted" mouse
enter and leave events, because they aren't "real" (= generated by the user).
Before this commit, this is done by going through all windows and toggling the
"please send us enter and leave events"-bit on them. This becomes slower when
many windows are visible and floods the server with requests.
This commit changes this to a constant-time logic. Each event contains the
sequence number of the last request that the X11 server handled. Thus, we just
remember the right sequence numbers and ignore any events that comes in whose
sequence number falls into the ignored range.
In detail, we keep a list of "begin" and "end" sequence numbers and ignore any
enter and leave events that fall in this range. If we get any event with a
sequence number higher than "end", we remove this pair from the list, since it
is no longer needed.
To generate these pairs, we use a GrabServer request in
client_ignore_enterleave_events(). This gives us a sequence number and makes
sure that nothing else besides us can cause events. The server is ours! In
client_restore_enterleave_events(), we first do a NoOperation request to
generate the sequence number for the end of the pair and then do UngrabServer.
Any event that is generated after UngrabServer will have at least the sequence
number of the UngrabServer request and thus no longer fails between begin and
end.

drawin_apply_moveresize() calls client_ignore_enterleave_events() internally,

Commit 7dad0b3b87 made awesome only ask for mouse events on the actual
client window. Obviously, this means that we no longer get reports for clicks on
the titlebar. Whoops.
Fix this by asking for mouse events on *both* the actual client window and the
frame window. The passive grab on the actual client window is actually unneeded,
but we keep it so that the fix that was done by the above commit is still
present (xev will no longer report leave/enter events just for a mouse click).
Since we now get mouse events inside of a client reported twice, the event
handling code in event.c has to be fixed to handle both cases. E.g. x/y are
relative to the top-left corner of the window and thus needs to be fixed for
titlebar size; the second click has to be ignored.

EWMH specifies that
If _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE is not set, then managed windows with WM_TRANSIENT_FOR
set MUST be taken as [_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DIALOG].
We implement this by forcing a window's type to be "dialog" when it has a
WM_TRANSIENT_FOR property. For windows that have a _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE property,
this type change is then later undone. However, when a window changes its
WM_TRANSIENT_FOR property during runtime, then we would set its type to "dialog"
unconditionally.
This commit fixes this by explicitly tracking if we found a _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE
property on the window and only applying the fallback if we did not find such a
property.

Since commit 102063dbbd, awesome is a reparenting WM. That means that we put our
own frame windows around child windows. This means that we have the option of
grabbing input events on the frame window or the child window. This commit chose
the frame window for this.
For keyboard events, this decision was already reverted in 532ec0cd90. This
commit does the same thing for mouse events.
This fixes the spurious leave/enter events that were visible on mouse clicks.
They occurred because the click activated a passive grab (all mouse events now
"belonged" to awesome). This passive grab caused the X server to inform clients
that they "lost" the mouse pointer (with the detail field set to "a grab
activated").

We once had the problem that with the nvidia blob, the X11 server told us that
"yes, I do support RandR; there is just a single big screen" even though there
were multiple screens and they could be queried for via Xinerama. To work around
this, we started to ignore RandR if it only provided information about a single
screen.
Our long-term goal is to stop restarting on RandR screen changes. Thus, even if
only a single screen is defined during startup, we should still use RandR later
when another screen is added. This means that we cannot just ignore RandR if it
only mentions a single screen.
This commit copies what GTK+ does: If there is an output named "default", then
some compatibility layer is assumed and we ignore RandR.
I have no way to test if this really does the right thing.

the C-API can take care of it in peace. For the other corner cases,
it is still possible for the Lua code to do the rounding there, but
no longer necessary. The convenstions are:
'x' and 'y': use round (move to the closest point)
'width' and 'height': use ceil (to avoid involontary truncating)
This change catches things like c:geometry { width = -42 }.

Some words about X11 event handling: Every X11 client can select input on any
window. For this, inside the X11 server each window has for each client a
bitmask for the kind of events that this client is interested in. When a mouse
button is pressed inside of a window, a corresponding event is generated for
that window and sent to all X11 clients which asked for
XCB_EVENT_MASK_BUTTON_PRESS. When no client is interested in this event, the
event is propagated to the parent window and the same procedure is done again
here. This continues up until the root window is reached.
Some words about the event masks that awesome uses: For clients, we ask for
button press events on the frame window that we reparent the client window into
so that we get any kind of press on the titlebar (and also events inside of the
client window if the client itself doesn't care for click events?). We are also
interested in button presses / releases on the root window. However, before this
commit, we didn't actually ask for button events on drawins (e.g. the wibox).
This worked fine, because no one asked for these events and the event propagated
to the root window where it was then sent to awesome.
However, newer Qt versions do something weird and the above broke. I don't
actually know what is going on. I know about the above propagation rules, but
looking at protocol traces of what Qt does, awesome should still get the button
events. During startup, Qt asks for button events on its own windows. After a
hotplug event, it asks the same again, but now also includes the root window.
So... how can Qt asking for button events on the root window cause awesome not
to get them? I have no idea.
(And yes, I guess that Qt asking for mouse events on the root window is a bug,
but I have no idea how exactly this happens nor about any other side effects of
it).
This commit makes us ask for button events on our drawins so that the server
will send them to us. This is the right thing to do anyway and it was reported
to have some positive effects.
