This patch allows dwm to manage other status bars such as
polybar/lemonbar without them needing to set override-redirect. For
all intents and purposes, DWM treats this bar as if it were its own
and as a result helps the status bar and DWM live in harmony.
This has a few advantages
* The bar does not block fullscreen windows
* DWM makes room for the status bar, so windows do not overlap the bar
* The bar can be hidden/killed and DWM will not keep an unsightly gap
where the bar was
* DWM receives EnterNotify events when your cursor enters the bar
To use another status bar, set usealtbar to 1 in your config.h and set
altbarclass to the class name (can be found using xprop) to the class
name of your status bar. Also make sure that if your status bar will
be displayed on top, topbar is set to 1 in your config, and if it will
be displayed on bottom, topbar is set to 0. This patch does not
support bars that are not docked at the top or at the bottom of your
monitor.
This verison of the patch fixes handling of polybar's tray.

This patch currently supports the following requests:
* Run custom commands with arguments (similar to key bind functions)
* Get monitor properties
* Get all available layouts
* Get available tags
* Get client properties
* Subscribe to tag change, client focus change, and layout change,
monitor focus change, focused title change, and client state change
events
This patch includes a dwm-msg cli program that supports all of the
above requests for easy integration into shell scripts.
The messages are sent in a JSON format to promote integration to
increase scriptability in languages like Python/JavaScript.
The patch requires YAJL for JSON parsing and a system with epoll
support. Portability is planned to be increased in the future.
This patch is best applied after all other patches to avoid merge
conflicts.

messages, documentation can be found at

cycle backwards and forwards through available layouts.
Probably only useful if you have a lot of additional layouts.
The NULL, NULL layout should always be the last layout in your list,
in order to guarantee consistent behavior.
