Initial i3 configuration

This is derived from my Awesome configuration. Still a lot to do from
a WM perspective. The organization is a bit different and I am giving
it up on the per-display systemd units as it does not really work due
to the fact we only have one user DBus and one environment.

# Vincent Bernat's awesome configuration
This is my [awesome](http://awesome.naquadah.org) configuration. It
does not exactly feature the same keybindings as the default
configuration. I don't recommend using it by you can pick anything you
need in it.
This configuration is for _awesome_ 3.4. I did not update to 3.5
yet. Have a look at
[@P-EB pull request](https://github.com/vincentbernat/awesome-configuration/pull/5)
for 3.5 support.
Here some of the things you may be interested in:
- It is modular. I am using `config` as a table to pass different
things between "modules".
- I use a light transparency effect to tell if a window has the focus
or not. It needs a composite manager.
- I use a Python script `bin/build-wallpaper` to build the wallpaper
to be displayed. There is a random selection and it works with
multihead setup. It seems that classic tools are now able to change
the wallpaper per screen and therefore, the script may seem a bit
useless but I keep it.
- I am using `xss-lock` with `i3lock` as a screensaver. It relies on
standard X screensaver handling (and therefore is easy for
application to disable) and also supports systemd
inhibitors. Nothing fancy but I reuse the wallpaper built above. A
notification is sent 10 seconds before starting.
- In `rc/apparance.lua`, you may be interested by the way I configure
GTK2 and GTK3 to have an unified look. It works and it does not
need `gnome-control-center`.
- I have rebuilt my own implementation of the Quake console in
`lib/quake.lua`. The common ones didn't like when awesome was
restarted.
- I am using notifications when changing volume or brightness. I am
also using notifications to change xrandr setup. This is pretty
cool.
- Keybindings are "autodocumented". See `lib/keydoc.lua` to see how
this works. The list of key bindings can be accessed with Mod4 +
F1.
- On the debug front, I am quite happy with `dbg()` in
`rc/debug.lua`.
- Many stuff is handled by systemd. The session is still expected to
be handled by Xsession but we invoke a custom display-specific
`xsession@.target` which binds to a display-specific
`graphical-session@.target`. This is different from the
`graphical-session.target` shipped by distributions because I
wanted it to be display-specific. Also, unit activation is bundled
directly into `graphical-session@.target` while dependencies are
mostly handled in `awesome@.service`.
Also, I am using my custom terminal (`vbeterm`). You need to change
that in `rc.lua`. You can also find the sources on
[GitHub](https://github.com/vincentbernat/vbeterm).
Things in `lib/` are meant to be reused. I am using my own `loadrc()`
function to load modules and therefore, I prefix my modules with
`vbe/`. Before reusing a module, you may want to change this. Another
way to load them is to use:
require("lib/quake")
local quake = package.loaded["vbe/quake"]
## Requirements
Required Debian packages to make everything work can be found in my
[Puppet configuration][].
