Modularized AwesomeWM rc.lua

Awesome AwesomeWM RC

This is the default awesome-git rc.lua, but structured for better customization and modularity. Initially, i did it for myself, because i needed something to start with, and i decided to share because i didn't find anything similar. None of the logic was touched, but everything was reformatted to match the code style that i like.

Please note that this is for awesome-git and will not work with the stable release.

Structure

The main rc.lua file only load the modules it was split into. Each module can have its own submodules, and they are all loaded from init.lua.

module	description
bindings	mouse and key bindings
config	various variables for apps/tags etc...
modules	third-party libraries (e.g. bling, lain)
rules	client rules
signals	all signals are connected here
widgets	all widgets are defined here

The widgets module is now better organized in the widgets branch. The reason for moving it to a different branch is that it is now a bit different from the default rc.lua logic, so I decided to move it to a different branch so as not to create confusion.

Feel free to submit PRs!
