This commit adds a "removed" signal to screens. Together with the "added" signal
that we have since a while, this allows the C code to update the list of
available screens dynamically without needing to restart.
So far, this code received only minimal testing. So far, I don't have a nice
idea on how to easily test this...

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.

Instead of adding all screens directly to globalconf.screens, the individual
"scanner functions" now get a screen_array_t as their argument and add the
screens there. Also, they no longer emit the "added" signal themselves (through
screen_add()), but the caller does now does this instead once all screens are
found.
This commit drops the "deduplication" of screens. This likely means that clone
mode causes duplicate screens. This will have to be re-added later.

XRandR 1.5 adds support for the new monitor objects.
'Monitor' is a rectangular subset of the screen which represents a
coherent collection of pixels presented to the user. Each Monitor is be
associated with a list of outputs (which may be empty).
The patch below matches 1:1 screens in AwesomeWM with XRandR's Monitors.
This way I get one screen across my 4K monitor, which is represented by
two CRTCs.

This commit makes all C code that previously returned a screen index now return
a screen object, continuing the deprecation of screen indicies. Note that this
is an API break and will likely cause all kinds of problems for users.
The change also breaks some tests which are suitably fixed in this commit.

Right now this just always returns the first screens, but this can easily be
implemented properly later.

Even when a screen is just an integer, the code becomes a bit more
self-documenting. Even better, if we start to handle screen objects to Lua
instead of screen indicies, there will only be one place that needs to be
changed.

Instead of comparing only the top-left corner of the screen to the provided
coordinate, this now compares the screen in a more intuitive way, e.g.
coordinates inside of the screen have a distance of zero.

This makes it possible to add something similar to a __index / __newindex
metamethod to all our C objects. Based on this, Lua can then easily implement
arbitrary properties on our capi objects.
While debugging #331, I have noticed that the call to `client_resize`
might have changed the screen (and emitted the signal) already, via
a call to `screen_client_moveto` with `doresize=False`.
Closes https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/pull/332.
Calling lua_tostring() on a number/integer, turns that stack slot into a string.
This patch changes the code to only call lua_tostring() if the function argument
really is a string.
This partly also caused https://github.com/awesomeWM/awesome/issues/238.

Everything that needs the lua_State should create a local variable like this:
lua_State *L = globalconf_get_lua_State();
This ensures that the compiler warns if there are two variables with name "L" in
scope. The idea here is that it should become harder to accidentally use the
global lua state instead of the state of the current state.
While writing this commit, I found another place that gets its wrong: Reading
client.focus from a coroutine was broken, since it was returning the result on
the main thread instead of the current one.

The screen_output_t* that is passed to screen_output_wipe() points into the
middle of the output array table and is a pointer that we never allocated.
Instead, what we want to free here is the name of the output.
Thanks to luzie for reporting this.

Every .c file has to include the corresponding .h file first to make sure the
headers are self-contained. Additionally, this moves some unneeded includes
around.

This makes the screen objects use our existing infrastructure for implementing
classes and objects with lua instead of hand-rolling an own version.
This results in some small API change: Screen objects no longer have an
add_signal() function and instead this function exists on the parent screen
class.
