For "stuff around screen's 'removed' signal", it might make sense to
temporarily set a tags screen to nil. The idea is that it will only
later be assigned to a new screen, not immediately.
However, currently a tag with screen nil causes quite some problems in
the set_screen() function. This commit works around this with a generous
amount of "wrap this in if".

Before this commit, there was a conflict between the spawn and
awful.rules rules.
Also, modules such as Tryannical monkey-patched this function to
add their own rules to the mix. This commit introduce a proper
API to add handlers.
The order is crutial for this to work, so a dependency system is
also added.
Fix#1482
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.
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 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.

Once upon a time, beautiful.xresources.get_dpi was added to query

Also, recently it became possible to add new properties to C objects
from Lua code. Thus, we no longer need to have a get_dpi() function
somewhere, but can add s.dpi directly.
Thus, this commit adds s.dpi and makes everything use it. No functional

To apply the shape of a client, we have to create an image and draw the
shape we want to it. Since clients can be quite large, we have to make
sure that we do not keep this image alive unnecessarily long.
The code in awful.client.shape.get_transformed() however needs another
temporary surface in case the client has its own shape and another one
was set in Lua (side note: currently the code also creates this extra
temporary surface if the client does not have its own shape; that might
be worth fixing). This temporary surface is then used as the source of a
cairo context to draw it to the image that will be used as the client's
final source.
After we are done, the temporary surface is still kept alive since it is
the current source of the cairo context. The cairo context in turn is
only freed when Lua's garbage collector collects it, which may take
quite a while.
Improve this by setting a different source to the cairo context. Thus,
it now releases the temporary surface as soon as possible and it is only
allocated for a short time.

The magnifier layout handles the currently focused client specially.
However, if the currently floating client is floating, it should not be
handled by the layout at all. A bug caused the magnifier layout to
handle a focused and floating client anyway if it was the only tiled
client.
Fix this by removing the '#cls > 0'-case. If #cls == 0, then no client
is available to be managed. Thus, cls[1] will be nil, which is fine
since, well, no client is available to be managed. This only made a
difference in the specific bug that I described above. Thus, drop this
case.

When gap_single_client is set to 'false', no gap is used when only one
client is shown in a tag. Since the max layout only ever shows one
client at a time it makes sense to apply this setting for this layout
regardless of the actual number of clients in that tag.
Additionally, if the 'master_fill_policy' property is set to
'master_width_factor', then use a gap even if there is only one client
visible and 'gap_single_client' is false.
There were multiple things which stood out to me, as I was trying to setup a simple calendar popup for my textclock:
1.: The functions in https://awesomewm.org/doc/api/classes/awful.widget.calendar_popup.html#Functions were not named correctly (calendar vs calendar_popup) which (naturally) produced an error when used as awful.widget.calendar.month() .
2.: The example for calendar_popup.month() was obviously missing a line (where does the month_calendar come from?) . Resolved by copying the line from the attach-example
3.: The same examples also only refer to the function as calendar.month() which should be changed to awful.widget.calendar_popup.month()
1. before this patch the "Shift" key(s) to get to Shift-Tab would reset
ncomp already.
2. "Shift-Tab" will come in as "Tab" with mod.Shift typically.
3. cur_pos and ncomp have to get reset in case of going back to the
original entry.
When awful.tag.new() got a list of layouts shorter than the list of
names, it would previously create tags with nil as their layout. This
commit changes this so that the first layout is repeated if necessary.

If an error occurs while a layout is being applied, arrange_lock could
get stuck at true, meaning that no more re-arranges will happen, thus
breaking the whole layout machinery.
Such errors could happen because the layout itself produces an error,
but also because a width is too large and c:geometry() throws an error.
Thus, this commit moves all of the actual "apply a layout"-code into a

This implementes the FIXME added a few commits ago. A new
request::geometry handler turns client requests into normal
lua `c.maximized = true` property changes.
A relatively common problem with awesome is with mixing sticky clients
and the focus history. Once a sticky client ever had the focus, it will
always get the focus after a tag switch. This is because the focus
history is global and the sticky client is always the most recently
focused and currently visible client in the list.
Work around this by discriminating sticky clients: First try to find a
client to focus, but ignore sticky clients. When this does not find
anything, try again, but this time also consider sticky clients.
(Basically the same issue exists with clients that are on multiple tags,
but I guess that one can be ignored.)

Once upon a time, 4b9584fdb1 already fixed this problem: We have to
set the border width to zero before applying the new geometry to the
client, because changing the border width makes the client move
according to its gravity.
Then came e54387904b and made this code use awful.placement instead
of just fullscreening the client itself (without explaining why in the
commit message!). After this commit, the border width was just ignored
and left as-is. This was then fixed in 0bf8bb6a64 (no idea which
callback the commit message refers to, the old code was basically just
c.border_width=0, c:geometry(screen_geo)). However, now the border width
was again changed after the geometry and the bug that was fixed by
4b9584fdb1 was back.
This commit fixes this regression again by making sure that the border
width is set to zero before the geometry is set. This becomes slightly
more complicated, because now it is also awful.placement's job to
restore the old border width.
This is why this commit adds a new option to awful.placement so that it
sets the border width to zero after creating its memento of the old
border width.

There are some cases where a client's floating state "silently" changes.
For example, a fullscreen client will be considered floating. However,
even though c.floating changes its value in this case, we did not emit
the property::floating signal.
Fix this by explicitly tracking the "implicitly floating" state. When
some property that influences this "implicitly floating" state changes,
we update it and if a client which was not explicitly assigned a
floating state observes a change in this value, property::floating is
emitted.
This was tested by running a terminal and two xeyes in a tag with a
tiling layout where awful.ewmh was patched so that clients do not change
their geometry when fullscreening or maximizing. It was observable that
after this patch e.g. the titlebar and the tasklist update to show the
floating state of the client which became implicitly floating due to
being maximized.

And stop listening to property::geometry, it's no longer needed.
This also remove messing up the border without saving it
somewhere. The concept is sound, but not the implementation.
Before this commit, do this:
c.maximize_hoizontal = true
c.maximize = true
c.maximize = false
assert(c.maximize_hoizontal)
Would not work because the states were not preserved individually.
This commit fixes that. Awesome wont be confused about it's own
state anymore.
This may seem pointless, but when it come to undoing these
maximizations, it was ambiguous.
Before 4.0, maximizing could only be done in 2 operations.
4.0 add an unified way, but kept doing 2 operations. The old
Lua EWMH code to serialize the 2 operations was dropped when
the codepath was simplified and replaced by a generic version
in awful.placement. However this version never implemented
combining multiple mementos into 1.
This commit unify the maximize C code, drop the ugly macro
template and actually fixes a couple more issues that were
caused because request::geometry was sent twice.
There is already a way to prevent them from moving them, but the
next few commits will remove it. There is no reasons to handle
this differently from fullscreen clients.
The functions awful.client.shape.update.bounding and .clip handle both
the client's shape and the shape set by Lua. However,
awful.client.shape.update.all only handles the shape set by Lua and
ignores the client's own shape. This can easily be noticed with xeyes.
When update.all ran last and you move around xeyes, the wallpaper behind
it is moved along, because it is not actually outside of the window.
Fix this by partly reverting 1a5f6b7ad2 and having update.all just
call the other two functions again.

This is the first step in deprecating them. A function with so
many optional arguments is just bad design.
The next few commits will rewrite the documentation and deprecate
the old arguments.
For a while, it was often suggested on IRC to replace the default
request::activate handler to implement custom focus stealing policies.
While it is working, it isn't user friendly. This commit add a simple
mechanism to add such policies.
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".
The default config had tables like mywibox and mywibox[s] was the wibox
that is visible on screen s. When a screen is removed, nothing cleans up
these tables and so the screen and the wibox could not be garbage
collected. The same applies to the layoutbox, taglist etc.
This commit removes the global mywibox table and instead saves it as a
property on the screen. This way, the screen is not explicitly
referenced and when it is removed, the screen, its wibox and all of its
widgets become unreachable and can be garbage collected.
This commit also updates the docs and the tests that referenced things
(mostly the wibox) via mywibox[s] to now use s.mywibox.
