We now do tilde expansion of the *first* argument in on-click
handlers.
That is:
~/bin/foobar.sh ~/arg1
is expanded to
$HOME/bin/foobar.sh ~/arg1
(meaning, the handler will most likely *not* do what you’d expect)

This patch adds an inheritable option, “font-shaping”, that controls
whether a particle that renders text should enable font-shaping or
not.
The option works similar to the ‘font’ option: one can set it at the
top-level, and it gets inherited down through all modules and to their
particles.
Or, you can set it on a module and it gets inherited to all its
particles, but not to other modules’ particles.
Finally, you can set it on individual particles, in which case it only
applies to them (or “child” particles).
When font-shaping is enabled (the default), the string particle shapes
full text runs using the fcft_rasterize_text_run_utf32() API. In fcft,
this results in HarfBuzz being used to shape the string.
When disabled, the string particle instead uses the simpler
fcft_rasterize_char_utf32() API, which rasterizes individual
characters.
This gives user greater control over the font rendering. One example
is bitmap fonts, which HarfBuzz often doesn’t get right.
Closes#159
Fonts in the configuration may now be a comma separated list of
fonts (all using the fontconfig format). The first font is the primary
font, and the rest are fallback fonts that will be searched, in order.
This allows you to configure the width of each side of the border
individually. border.width can still be used, and will set all four
borders to the same width.
Closes#77
This is an integer that specifies the amount of scrolling that needs
to be accumulated before a wheel-up/down event is emitted.
A higher value means you need to drag your fingers a longer distance
before the event is emitted.
The default is 30.
One can now bind the left/middle/right mouse buttons to on-click. In
fact, you can have all three buttons bound to different handlers for
the same particle. The new syntax is
on-click:
left: <command>
middle: <command>
right: <command>
Leaving one out is the same thing as not mapping it at
all. Furthermore,
on-click: <command>
is still valid, and is a shorthand for
on-click:
left: <commsnd>
We use pre-multiplied alpha color channels, but were having bad
rounding errors due to the alpha divider being truncated to an
integer.
The algorithm for pre-multiplying a color channel is:
alpha_divider = 0xffff / alpha
pre_mult_color = color / alpha_divider
In order to fix the rounding errors, we could turn ‘alpha_divider’
into a double.
That however would introduce a performance penalty since now we’d need
to do floating point math for each cell.
The algorithm can be trivially converted to:
pre_mult_color = color * alpha / 0xffff
Since both color and alpa values are < 65536, the multiplication is
“safe”; it will not overflow an uint32_t.
All decoration, particle and module interfaces now takes a
pixman_image_t parameter, and all drawing is done using pixman APIs.
The wayland/xcb backends implement a new interface functions,
get_pixman_image(), that should return a pixman image instance that is
suitable for rendering.
In the wayland backend, the image uses the same backing data as the
cairo surface.
In the XCB backend, we create a new image each time, and then blit it
to the cairo surface at commit time.
Since this struct only contained function pointers, make all modules
export those functions directly.
The plugin manager now defines a module interface struct, and fills it
it by dlsym:ing the functions that used to be in module_info.

Previously we allowed it on the bar, and on all particles. Now we also
allow it on all modules.
This allows us to specify a "default" font/foreground on a per-module
basis, having it applied to all the modules particles.
TODO: optimizations and proper cleanup
* We currently reload the shared library for each *instance* of the
module, and we do it twice; once when verifying, and once when
instantiating.
* The shared libraries are never dlclosed()
