Substitutions in the caption are only supported in version 4 of
sphinx.
However, RTD uses sphinx 1.8.6
Just letting it append the value seems to work in both 1.8.6 and newer
versions.
Defer parsing the version read from version.txt until it's about
to be used, in order to fix an obscure bug involving indirect
pkg_resources.
When pkg_resources are imported, they override packaging with their own
pkg_resources.extern.packaging. Depending on the system, this could
either wrap the vendored pkg_resources._vendor.packaging or system
packaging. For some reason, in the latter case the Version objects
created prior to the wrapping are incompatible with the objects created
afterwards. This causes the doc build to fail with:
```
Exception occurred:
File "/tmp/polybar/build/doc/conf.py", line 249, in run
if directive_version > version_txt:
TypeError: '>' not supported between instances of 'Version' and 'Version'
```
This happens because apparently pkg_resources are imported indirectly
somewhere between conf.py processing and running VersionDirective.
Deferring version parsing until the latter guarantees that both objects
are constructed at the same point in program flow and therefore use
the same packaging package.
Deprecates not using `polybar-msg` for IPC.

* Create FIFO specific NamedPipeHandle subclass to PipeHandle
* Prototype SocketHandle
* Move mainloop up to main.cpp
* Pass eventloop to ipc class
* Deprecate sending ipc over the named pipe
Unfortunately, we can only show the warning in the polybar log and not
give the user any feedback because the pipe is one-way
* Move eventloop into its own namespace
* Prototype ipc socket handling
* Remove handles from ipc_client
Should be independent from eventloop logic
* Remove ipc clients when finished
* Add tests for ipc_client decoding
* Add callback for complete ipc messages
* Remove template param from mixins
* Move signal handler to new callback system
* Move poll handle to new callback system
* Move FSEventHandle to new callback system
* Move TimerHandle and AsyncHandle to new callback system
* Move PipeHandle to new callback system
* Implement socket functionality in new callback system
* Correctly reset ipc named pipe handle
* Let client close handles in error callback
* Wrap client pipe and ipc::client in connection class
* Better decoder log messages
* Socket path logic
* Fix CI warnings
* Remove UVHandleGeneric
* Fix error when socket folder already exists
* Proof of concept message writeback
* Restructure ipc files
* polybar-msg: Use sockets
* polybar-msg: Better syntax for actions
* Fix memory leak with fifo
After EOF, the pipe wasn't closed and EOF was called all the time, each
time allocating a new pipe.
* Make polybar-msg compile on its own
* Rudimentary writeback for polybar-msg
* Fix payload reference going out of scope.
* Add IPC documentation
* Cleanup polybar-msg code
* Specify the v0 ipc message format
* Close ipc connection after message
* Fix ipc tests
* Properly close ipc connections
* Fix polybar-msg not working with action string
* Write polybar-msg manpage
* polybar-msg: Stop using exit()
* ipc: Print log message with PID
* Add tests for ipc util
* polybar-msg: Print PID with success message
* ipc: Propagate message errors
* Rename ipc::client to ipc::decoder
* Rename ipc.cpp to polybar-msg.cpp
* ipc: Write encoder function and fix decoder bugs
* ipc: Use message format for responses
* ipc: Handle wrong message types
* ipc: Write back error message if ipc message cannot be processed
This only happens for commands and empty actions.
Non-empty actions are not immediately executed, but deferred until the
next loop iteration.
* Remove TODO about deleting runtime directory
The socket file is not deleted after socket.close() is called, only
after libuv executes the close callback.
So we can't just call rmdir because it will probably always fail.
* CLeanup WriteRequest
* Update manpage authors
* Cleanup
Before sphinx 4.0, this was the default but was changed in 4.0.
Now by default the folder structure looks like this:
man
├── 1
│ └── polybar.1
└── 5
└── polybar.5
This restores the old behavior where there weren't individual folders
for the different sections.
Fixes#2424

Searching up from the conf.py only works if it is inside the repository
and not for out-of-tree builds (because conf.py gets configured in the
build directory).
If git is not available (and it doesn't have to be when building from a
source archive) building the documentation fails because we use
`git rev-parse` to determine whether a certain version is unreleased.
We now use the version.txt file to do this check
This uses the packaging library, but this should not introduce a new
dependency because sphinx depends on setuptools which also depends on
that library.
Fixes#2309
rtd scans the project for a conf.py file so we cannot name it conf.py.in
unless we get rtd to run cmake before building.
The easier option is to have doc/conf.py be the file used by rtd and all
other builds use cmake to first configure it.
This also moves the doc generation completely into cmake (no more
Makefile).
To generate the docs the project needs to first be configured and then
`make doc` can be run.
The approach used is leaned on the cmake's project own use of Sphinx:
Utilities/Sphinx/CMakeLists.txt
This allows us to also have the manual as part of the generated html
documentation.
The syntax is also easier to use.
Right now the man page installed on the system is not replaced with the
rst file, this will come in a later step
