The main purpose of this commit is to ensure that exec callbacks are
registered at startup (or config reload), so that they have a chance to
run on the first update interval. Much of the code in exec.cc got
consolidated, making it easier to follow. Several checks for NULL
pointers should eliminate some obscure segfaults I noticed, as well.
During the refactoring, I implemented height and width arguments for
execbar and execgauge. The functionality was already there, but wasn't
being used. All this is accompanied by updates to the man page and
plenty of code comments.
The cairo/imlib2/rsvg bindings require tolua++ [1], which is currently only
compatible with Lua 5.1 or earlier. We need to force Conky to compile against
Lua 5.1 if the user chooses to build the bindings.
This commit adds a separate pkg_search_module command specifically for Lua 5.1,
along with a note in the documentation. The original pkg_search_module command
was updated to include (and prefer) Lua 5.3+. Also, I threw in two other minor
random fixes to the docs while I was at it.

Since commit 749083a, the output of ${top name <num>} contains the full
command line of each process, including arguments. While this feature can
be very useful, it changes the default behavior of Conky.
The present commit adds a new top_name_verbose option that allows the user
to toggle between basenames with no arguments (the old behavior) and full
command lines with arguments. To remain consistent with past versions of
Conky, the default value of top_name_verbose is false.
Fixes #113 (https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky/issues/113).
Adds mpd_albumartist support as an object since mpd_artist lists all participating artists of the
current song and not the main album artist.
patch by Sébastien Lavoie-Courchesne
I removed the code for automatic killing of stuck children, because (by admission of the person
who wrote it) it wasn't working. I also removed the $pre_exec variable, because one can use lua
to generate the config on the startup, if one wants to.
the way it is implemented now just wont work with the new config file. And i don't think that
many people used it anyway. Maybe add a replacement later?
Additionally, add a nvidia_display variable. This enables the $nvidia variable to be used without
out_to_x yes (X11 support still has to be built in, you just don't have to use it).
