haptix@web.de e3913093b6 introduced i3 command for changing the hidden state and the mode of i3bar
The hidden_state and mode of each i3bar instance can now be controlled from within i3.
Therefore, two new i3 command were introduced:
    _
    bar hidden_state show|hide|toggle [<bar_id>]

    show: always show the bar
    hide: normal hide mode
    toggle: toggle between show and hide (individually for each bar)
    _
    bar mode dock|hide|invisible|toggle [<bar_id>]

    hide,dock: like before
    invisible: always keep the bar hidden
    toggle: toggle between dock and hide (individually for each bar)

This patch introduces a hidden_state ("hidden_state hide|show") in the
barconfig, which indicates the current hidden_state of each i3bar
instance. It only affects the bar when in hide mode. Additionally, a new
invisible mode was introduced. In order to change the hidden_state or
mode of the bar from i3, a barconfig-update event was introduced, for
which a bar can subscribe and the bar then gets notified about the
currently set hidden_state and mode in its barconfig.

For convenience, an id field ("id <bar_id>") was added to the barconfig, where one can
set the desired id for the corresponding bar. If the id is not specified, i3 will
deterministically choose an id; otherwise, with the previous random approach for finding
a new id, which is actually not shared with i3bar, as it would determine its id on
startup, the event-subscription would be destroyed on reload. Still, this issue remains
when manually changing the bar_id in the config and then reloading.

fixes #833, #651

Artem Shinkarov 5f05ca6b5d Separator color via config; separator width and on/off via ipc
This patch adds the following features:
1) Configure a color of the separator via config.  It is done like
   bar {
      colors {
         separator #000000
      }
   }
2) A block can have an integer entry "separator_block_width" which
   sets the width of the gap which would follow after the current block.

3) A block can have a boolean entry "separator" and if it is set
   to false, then the drawing of the separating line would be disabled.

Simon Elsbrock 28104a480c implement delayed urgency hint reset
If there is a client with an urgency hint on another workspace and
switching to this workspace would cause the urgency to be reset (by
moving the focusing to the client), delay the reset by some time. This
gives the user the chance to see it.

This commit adds the possibility to configure the urgency delay timer
duration using the 'force_display_urgency_hint' directive. Also,
documentation and a testcase was added to allow for automated checks of
the intended behavior.

chrysn e15e37f922 fixes #776
this implements both the "move container to workspace back_and_forth" command
and movements to the same workspace when auto_back_and_forth is set.

it includes documentation and test suite additions by michael.

it also simplifies the workspace_show_by_name function (making use of
workspace_get accepting NULL pointers).

Michael Stapelberg de94f6da1a Introduce splith/splitv layouts, remove orientation
With this commit, the "default" layout is replaced by the splith and
splitv layouts. splith is equivalent to default with orientation
horizontal and splitv is equivalent to default with orientation
vertical.

The "split h" and "split v" commands continue to work as before, they
split the current container and you will end up in a split container
with layout splith (after "split h") or splitv (after "split v").

To change a splith container into a splitv container, use either "layout
splitv" or "layout toggle split". The latter command is used in the
default config as mod+l (previously "layout default"). In case you have
"layout default" in your config file, it is recommended to just replace
it by "layout toggle split", which will work as "layout default" did
before when pressing it once, but toggle between horizontal/vertical
when pressing it repeatedly.

The rationale behind this commit is that it’s cleaner to have all
parameters that influence how windows are rendered in the layout itself
rather than having a special parameter in combination with only one
layout. This enables us to change existing split containers in all cases
without breaking existing features (see ticket #464). Also, users should
feel more confident about whether they are actually splitting or just
changing an existing split container now.

As a nice side-effect, this commit brings back the "layout toggle"
feature we once had in i3 version 3 (see the userguide).

AFAIK, it is safe to use in-place restart to upgrade into versions
after this commit (switching to an older version will break your layout,
though).
