If a command is passed to `start_child` which is NULL, such as in the
case when there is no `status_command` specified in the bar config, do
not start a child process to listen on stdin.
fixes#1140
Add a function to i3bar to print an error message in the status line
when the child process invoked by status_command fails to provide
input that can be displayed as a statusline.
When the child provides JSON that cannot be parsed, alert the user and
convey a short message provided by yajl communicating the specific
problem.
When the child (or the shell executing the status command) exits
unexpectedly, alert the user and display the exit code. The cases where
the status command is not executable or not found in the user's PATH are
treated specially.
fixes#1130
Set the process group id of the child process by calling `setpgid` after
forking and before calling `exec`.
The process group ID will be set to the process ID of the forked
process. Processes spawned by this child process will also have this
group ID.
Send signals to the process group with `killpg`. This will send the
signal to all of the process group.

This commit should fix problems with people using a non-bourne shell as
login shell, e.g. fish or rc. AFAICT, $SHELL should only be used for
interactive shells, but we just want a bourne shell, not an interactive
shell.
If the statusline generator (i.e. i3status) specifies click_events:true
in the protocol header, i3bar will write a JSON array on it's stdin
notifying it if the user clicks on a block.
The exact protocol is documented in docs/i3bar-protocol.
With this change, min_width can either be an integer (as usual), or a
string. In the latter case, the width of the text given by min_width
determines the minimum width of the block. This way one does not have to
figure out a minimum width by trial and error, only to do it again every
time the font is changed.
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.
We now wait for the child process to send the first line before stopping
it to use the signal which might be specified in the i3bar protocol
header
Since clients might use the same signal for both stop and cont, we also
save the stopped state of the child to avoid stopping it while hidden!
yajl1 has the status yajl_status_insufficient_data, which in our stream
parsing context basically means "ok". Therefore, in yajl1, we no longer
print an error in this case.
If the first line of the input starts with {"version":, then the input is
considered to be JSON, otherwise it is interpreted as plain text.
Only the "full_text" and "color" parts of a block are currently understood by
i3bar.
