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).

The C compiler will handle (void) as "no arguments" and () as "variadic
function" (equivalent to (...)) which might lead to subtle errors, such
as the one which was fixed with commit 0ea64ae4.
If you had workspace 1, 2, 3, 4 on LVDS1 and you enabled HDMI2 (where workspace
1 to workspace 5 are assigned to HDMI2), i3 would look for a new workspace for
LVDS1 (since all workspaces were moved), create workspace 5, move that over due
to assignment and then create workspace 6. Effectively, you would end up with
an empty workspace 5.
Modify _tree_next() so that when we reach the workspace container:
1. Find the next corresponding output (screen) using the added
get_output_next().
2. If there is another output, find the visible workspace.
3. Call workspace_show on found workspace.
4. Find the appropriate window to focus (leftmost/rightmost, etc.) using
con_descend_direction, and then focus it.
I've only tested on horizontal monitors (left/right).
Use 'kill window' to kill a specific window (for example only one specific
popup), use 'kill client' to kill the whole application (or X11 connection to
be specific).
