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.)

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

This code uses delayed calls to lazily update things. Thanks to this, it can try
to update a screen long after it was removed. Fix this by just doing nothing on
invalid screens.

Because all our Lua code can now work with screen objects, most of the uses of
s.index that the previous patches added for reaching this goal can be removed
again.

This commits makes a random selection of modules in awful support screen objects
and accept them as parameters everywhere where a screen index is accepted.

In #152 I've changed the autofocus handler to emit the request::activate
signal, instead of setting client.focus only.
This is wrong IMHO, and can be annoying:
If you have two floating clients above a tiled / maximized one, and
close one of the floating ones, with the tiled one being the one
selected by autofocus, it will be raised above the other floating
client.
This is changed now to use the new `request::focus` signal instead.
This basically reverts 20cdb5d (#152), but allows for customizing this
behavior, by overriding the default `request::focus` handler
(`ewmh.focus`).
It would be nice if there was a helper to check if a window's content
isn't visible at all (i.e. covered by other windows), and that could be
used then by the (new) default handler for request::focus - raising the
client only, if it's completely covered by another window.
