Add a (half-finished) input library, that for now simply allows
registration and triggering of events.
As next steps, the trigger will happen as part of a separate thread that
reads input events.
Additionally, invoking commands via a execute() will be supported.
Thirdly, there is need of a way to selectively update the affected
modules (widgets), which should be possible given that the event
contains both the instance (widget ID) and name (module name).
Parse '-p' parameters and make them accessible via 'parameter()' from
within a module (basically, restore the previous configuration
facility).
Still TODO: Add support for configuration files.
The core.output module now manages the list of modules and retrieves the
widgets inside draw() itself. That way, details of drawing/updating
widgets are not visible from the outside anymore.
Add generic "draw()" method that redirects internally to the actual
calls. These can now produce JSON, which is nicer because:
1. Easier to use during testing
2. More flexible
3. Centralizes printing (somewhat)
Still, the "suffix" concept isn't really nice, but so far, I have no
better approach.
To maintain backwards compatibility (and because I think it's an OK
design choice), keep the widget concept (a single module can produce
multiple widgets).
Add logic for parsing commandline options, and a preliminary stub for
loading modules.
Note: The idea is that core.module.load() will return a valid, but
empty, module that displays an error, if the module cannot be loaded
Experimental re-implementation of core functionality with the aim:
- Depend only on the Python Standard Library for core
- If modules are missing elsewhere, *never* throw
- Unit test *everything*
- Cleaner and more minimal implementation
- Better integration points for existing implementations (charts,
braille, etc.)
- Full backwards-compatibility with existing module system (except where
modules can be vastly simplified)
If an import fails, this test fails, which is not the original
intention.
Until such time that the listing of existing modules is fixed, this test
is removed.

This module doesn't *really* perform tests and causes more trouble than
it is worth at the moment.
see #456 and #457 for reasons why the tests need to be overhauled a bit
anyhow.
Empty states ("" rather than None) caused a backtrace in the theme
engine. Fix that by being a bit more robust, and add a test that checks
for regressions.
fixes#406
Honestly: I don't know why Travis is failing on this test, it works fine
on my machine with Python 2.7. Therefore, I will disable this test until
I can get to the bottom of it.
The module now creates a widget for each battery device it detects and
shows the status for each of them (I don't know of anyone with more than
a single battery, but if I'm overhauling the module anyhow, might as
well do it comprehensively).
