Replace "preview" in rc.xml and themerc with "overlay" since "preview" sounds
like it shows the window content.
Breaking changes are:
- `snapping.preview.*` in themerc is now replaced with `snapping.overlay`.
- `<snapping><preview>` in rc.xml is now replaced with `<snapping><overlay>`.
This allows to ignore X11 client side configure requests
like positioning and resizing and can be used to fight
some X11 applications that persist to have their windows
spawn at specific places and sizes.
Fixes: #1446
Add a BUF_INIT macro, which makes it easier to initialize a struct buf
to an empty string (without a heap allocation).
Add buf_move() to move the contents of one struct buf to another (the
source is reset to BUF_INIT, analogous to C++ move-assignment).
Use buf_reset() instead of directly calling `free(s->buf)` since the
internal buf may not always be allocated by malloc() now.
Add custom field with subset of printf style formatting
to replace the original field formats.
Example:
<windowSwitcher preview="no" outlines="no" allWorkspaces="yes">
<fields>
<field content="custom" format="foobar %b %3s %-10o %-20W %-10i%t" width="100%" />
</fields>
</windowSwitcher>
Mono space font recommended. May need OSD width adjusted

...and unify region overlay and snap-to-edge overlay into overlay.c.
Snap-to-edge overlay is delayed for 500ms to prevent flickering when
the view is dragged from an output to another (demo in discussion labwc#1613).
This also fixes a bug that region overlay is not shown when a modifier
key is re-pressed.
Also share common config option (rc.window_switcher.criteria) in osd.c and
desktop.c to make sure the window lists are always consistent.
Configure with `<windowSwitcher allWorkspaces="yes|no">`
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().

This builds on the work of @Consolatis in #1018.

It is nice to have finer granularity for device types to allow for
configurations such as using `naturalScroll` on touchpads, but not on
regular pointer devices such as mice.
Support showing full application
identifier or the trimmed variant in window switcher OSD.
Regression notice: For anyone using ‘identifier’ in window-switcher field configuration, change it to ‘trimmed_identifier’.
...to address regression introduced by 57075ce and enables panel/desktop
clients which rely on window rules to remain in the same position when
the usable-area changes (normally because an exclusive layer-shell
clients is started/finished).
Also disallows interactive move/resize, for example by alt +
mouse-press.

It can be enabled with a config like
~/.config/labwc/rc.xml:
<keyboard layoutScope="window">
~/.config/labwc/environment:
XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT=de,us
XKB_DEFAULT_OPTIONS=grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll
With a configuration like this each window should now remember
the active keyboard layout when switching between windows.
By default, the keyboard layout keeps being a global state.
This is a useful (if lesser-known) feature of at least a few popular X11
window managers, for example Openbox and XFWM4. Typically right-click on
the maximize button toggles horizontal maximize, while middle-click
toggles vertical maximize.
Support in labwc uses the same configuration syntax as Openbox, where the
Maximize/ToggleMaximize actions have an optional "direction" argument:
horizontal, vertical, or both (default). The default mouse bindings match
the XFWM4 defaults (not sure what Openbox has by default).
Most of the external protocols still assume "maximized" is a Boolean,
which is no longer true internally. For the sake of the outside world,
a view is only "maximized" if maximized in both directions.
Internally, I've taken the following approach:
- SSD code decorates the view as "maximized" (i.e. hiding borders) only
if maximized in both directions.
- Layout code (interactive move/resize, tiling, etc.) generally treats
the view as "maximized" (with the restrictions that entails) if
maximized in either direction. For example, moving a vertically-
maximized view first restores the natural geometry (this differs from
Openbox, which instead allows the view to move only horizontally.)
v2: use enum view_axis for view->maximized
v3:
- update docs
- allow resizing if partly maximized
- add TODOs & corrections noted by Consolatis
