...to start <command> on startup and to terminate the compositor when
<command> exits.
This is useful for session management as it allows the session client (for
example `lxqt-session`) to terminate labwc - be exiting itself.
Under X, xinit starts the server and keeps it alive for as long as
lxqt-session runs. Thus either the session client starts the Window
Manager, or the Window Manager can be launched independently first. On
Wayland, the Compositor is both Display Server and Window Manager, so the
described session management mechanisms do not work because the Compositor
needs to be running before the session can function.
As some session clients support both X11 and Wayland, this command line
option avoids re-writes and fragmentation.

Add the -m|--merge-config command line option to iterate backwards over
XDG Base Dir paths and read config/theme files multiple times.
For example if both ~/.config/labwc/rc.xml and /etc/xdg/labwc/rc.xml
exist, the latter will be read first and then the former (if
--merge-config is enabled).
When $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is defined, make it replace (not augment)
$HOME/.config. Similarly, make $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS replace /etc/xdg when
defined.
XDG Base Dir Spec does not specify whether or not an application (or a
compositor!) should (a) define that only the file under the most important
base directory should be used, or (b) define rules for merging the
information from the different files.

In the case of labwc there is a use-case for both positions, just to be
clear, the default behaviour, described by position (a) above, does NOT
change.
This change affects the following config/theme files:
- rc.xml
- menu.xml
- autostart
- environment
- themerc
- themerc-override
- Theme buttons, for example max.xbm
Instead of caching global config/theme directories, create lists of paths
(e.g. '/home/foo/.config/labwc/rc.xml', '/etc/xdg/labwc/rc.xml', etc).
This creates more common parsing logic and just reversing the direction
of iteration and breaks early if config-merge is not wanted.
Enable better fallback for themes. For example if a particular theme does
not exist in $HOME/.local/share/themes, it will be searched for in
~/.themes/ and so on. This also applies to theme buttons which now
fallback on an individual basis.
Avoid using stat() in most situations and just go straight to fopen().
Fixes#1406
- typos: LINGUAS manually, rest with help of aspell(1)
- whitespace: some trailing spaces/tabs, one utf-8 NBSP (#xC2 #xA0)
- made most text in docs/ fit in max 80-column wide lines
- consistent trailing periods in sentences in labwc-actions.5.scd and
labwc-config.5.scd; labwc-theme.5.scd had different consistency,
changed it follow these other files with sentence-ending periods
- and ", respectively" (comma often used to separate)
