Anton Vorontsov 27f4d5dafe Implement proper handling of dynamically changing hostname
The module implements a proper way of finding out whether the window is
remote or local.

Just checking for a hostname and WM_CLIENT_MACHINE being equal is often
not enough because the hostname is a changing subject (without any
established notification mechanisms), and thus WM_CLIENT_MACHINE and the
hostname can diverge even for a local window.

This module solves the problem. As soon as there is a new window created,
we check the hostname and WM_CLIENT_MACHINE, and then we cache the result
into the XMONAD_REMOTE property.

Notice that XMonad itself does not know anything about hostnames, nor does
it have any dependency on Network.* modules. For this module it is not a
problem: you can provide a mean to get the hostname through your config
file (see usage). Or, if you don't like the hassle of handling dynamic
hostnames (suppose your hostname never changes), it is also fine: this
module will fallback to using environment variables.

-- Module : XMonad.Layout.Stoppable
-- Copyright : (c) Anton Vorontsov <anton@enomsg.org> 2014
-- License : BSD-style (as xmonad)
--
-- Maintainer : Anton Vorontsov <anton@enomsg.org>
-- Stability : unstable
-- Portability : unportable
--
-- This module implements a special kind of layout modifier, which when
-- applied to a layout, causes xmonad to stop all non-visible processes.
-- In a way, this is a sledge-hammer for applications that drain power.
-- For example, given a web browser on a stoppable workspace, once the
-- workspace is hidden the web browser will be stopped.
--
-- Note that the stopped application won't be able to communicate with X11
-- clipboard. For this, the module actually stops applications after a
-- certain delay, giving a chance for a user to complete copy-paste
-- sequence. By default, the delay equals to 15 seconds, it is
-- configurable via 'Stoppable' constructor.
--
-- The stoppable modifier prepends a mark (by default equals to
-- \"Stoppable\") to the layout description (alternatively, you can choose
-- your own mark and use it with 'Stoppable' constructor). The stoppable
-- layout (identified by a mark) spans to multiple workspaces, letting you
-- to create groups of stoppable workspaces that only stop processes when
-- none of the workspaces are visible, and conversely, unfreezing all
-- processes even if one of the stoppable workspaces are visible.
--
-- To stop the process we use signals, which works for most cases. For
-- processes that tinker with signal handling (debuggers), another
-- (Linux-centric) approach may be used. See
-- <https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroups/freezer-subsystem.txt>

-- $usage
-- You can use this module with the following in your @~\/.xmonad\/xmonad.hs@:
--
-- > import XMonad
-- > import XMonad.Layout.Stoppable
-- >
-- > main = xmonad def
-- > { layoutHook = layoutHook def ||| stoppable (layoutHook def) }
--
-- Note that the module has to distinguish between local and remote
-- proccesses, which means that it needs to know the hostname, so it looks
-- for environment variables (e.g. HOST).
--
-- Environment variables will work for most cases, but won't work if the
-- hostname changes. To cover dynamic hostnames case, in addition to
-- layoutHook you have to provide manageHook from
-- "XMonad.Util.RemoteWindows" module.
--
-- For more detailed instructions on editing the layoutHook see:
