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.
When menubar.refresh() is called, it tries to update the menubar widget.
The call chain looks like this: menulist_update -> common.list_update ->
get_current_page. get_current_page then tries to query information about
the size of the menubar.
Since there is not much point in this, just skip the whole callback in
this case.
Side note: What is the point of menubar.get()? It seems quite useless to
me.

Up to now, a drawable always figured out the screen that it is on by
looking at its position. This causes memleak-like problems with wibars:
A wibar has a screen assigned, but its underlying drawable will end up
referring to another screen. Via this, we were managing to build a long
reference chain of screens and drawable that meant that none of the fake
screens that our test suite added could be garbage collected.
To fix this, add wibox.drawable._force_screen(s). After this function is
called, the normal screen detection based on the position is skipped and
instead the given screen is always used. This breaks the above reference
chain and things become garbage-collectable.
Also, this chains the drawable to the life time of the screen: When the
screen becomes invalid (.valid == false), the drawable will stop
redrawing.

This commit doesn't add any useful documentation, but adds
previously hidden documentation variables. It can be the basis
of a better layout documentation.
Fix#1246
The function that is documented as awful.wibox.stretch is deprecated,
because it was removed (that's not a deprecation, is it?!?). For the
replacement, we used "@see stretch". However, LDoc was randomly
resolving this reference to awful.wibar.stretch (good) or
awful.wibox.stretch (bad; the see points to the element where it
appears).
Fix this by spelling out the "full name" of the function in the @see.

The only other swap function is awful.tag.swap and that one is
deprecated. Thus, it should not be linked to.

People who use a plain "make install" to install awesome will likely
also use the same approach to update their installation. However, this
does not actually work, because in awesome 3.5 there are beautiful.lua
and naughty.lua. These modules have since been split up into multiple
files and we now have beauitful/init.lua and naughty/init.lua instead.
The result is that the newer awesome will use some code from an older
version of awesome.
This commit has a work-around for this: We add "empty" beautiful.lua and
naughty.lua files whose only purpose is to load the real file. These
"empty" files will then overwrite files from an older installation and
everything works.
Sadly, this bad hack will have to be kept around forever and in the
future we will only have more instances of it. I would like to just say
people to fix their system, but apparently this should be worked around
instead.
