Sending the sync command via IPC ensures pending IPC messages are handled by i3
before the sync response is read. This is rarely useful for direct IPC
connections to i3, but becomes useful when synchronizing with i3bar, which might
have pending IPC messages in response to button clicks.
_NET_WM_STATE_FOCUSED is set on _NET_WM_STATE to indicate that the
window is focused. It must be set when the window is newly focused and
removed once the window no longer has focus.

For example, this is used by GTK applications to show the decoration in
an active or inactive state. This change can be tested by opening a GTK
application (like evince), focusing the window and unfocusing the
window, and observing a change in the window decorations.
Fixes#2273
For command:
move window to [absolute] position X px Y px
if the optional keyword 'absolute' is provided the end result is the
same even though it is implemented differently. Only difference is that
with absolute the floating window can move completely outside of any
output.
This commit removes the 'method' argument and only keeps the sane
implementation.
This deals with (admittedly somewhat misbehaving) clients which
use XSetInputFocus to take focus, but then don't properly restore
focus. This has been observed with TK apps, but also, e.g., Steam.

i3bar's handle_button is modified to also handle XCB_BUTTON_RELEASE
events. During these button release events, only custom commands are
checked to avoid sending multiple workspace ipc messages.
The way this patch is implemented will allow to assign a custom command
for both the press and release of the same button:
bar {
...
bindsym buttonX exec command1
bindsym --release buttonX exec command2
}
Fixes#3068.
stbuf.st_size is of type off_t, which the standard defines as “extended signed
integral type”¹, and for which there is no correct printf format string. Hence,
we need to cast it into a hopefully-large-enough type (ugh) and use the
corresponding format string. In our case, int64_t should do it, as config files
really shouldn’t be anywhere close to those numbers.

Allow enabling forced focus wrapping by specifying "focus_wrapping
force" in i3's configuration. This syntax supersedes the previous
"force_focus_wrapping yes" one, which remains available for backwards
compatibility.
All other message types are verbs, only our first-ever message COMMAND wasn’t.
While we’re here, also change the message type dictionary into a table with
clickable links to the corresponding reply type.
Authors of downstream IPC libraries are encouraged to keep the old name around
so as to not break existing code, but mark it as deprecated.
Makes "assign [<criteria>] workspace number <number>" work in the same
manner as "move to workspace number <number>" instead of assigning the
window to a workspace named "number <number>".
config.spec is modified to expect a 'number' string and an extra
argument is used in cfg_assign.
For workspaces that don't exist yet, workspace_get is used as a
fallback. This also allows the user to assign to "<number> <workspace>"
eg "2: work" and the full name will be used if workspace number 2
doesn't exist yet.
Fixes#2590.
This commit also introduces slurp() which reads a file in its entirety. Using
this function instead of doing IO in the functions in load_layout.c again and
again makes the code cleaner (fixing at least two memory leaks) and avoids
re-reading the same file 3 times.

Currently, only one name is ever added, and only the first name is
ever accessed; actually using the capability to store and access
multiple names comes in the following commits.
Currently simply returns output->name, but this will make it easier to
change how output names are stored in the following commits.
Also replace reading output->name with invocations of
output_primary_name. Code which writes output->name is unchanged. Done
using a mostly mechanical replacement of output->name to
output_primary_name(output).
