the goal here to mark functions and variables not used outside the
translation unit as static. main reason for this is cleanliness. however
as a side-effect this can help compilers optimize better as it now has
guarantee that a certain function won't be called outside of that
translation unit.
one other side-effect of this is that accessing these vars/function from
config.h is now different.
if one wants to access a static var/func from different translation unit
in config.h, he would have to create a wrapper function under the right
ifdef. for static functions one would also need to forward declare it.
here's a dummy example of accessing the function `run_key_handler` from
config.h under _MAPPINGS_CONFIG
```
static void run_key_handler(const char *, unsigned);
bool send_with_ctrl(arg_t key) {
run_key_handler(XKeysymToString(key), ControlMask);
return false;
}
```
* remove duplicate comment
* remove empty tabs and blank lines
* move macros and globals ontop
* comment to seprate function implementation
* fix alignment
* switch to *argv[] similar to other suckless code
* kill all empty last lines
* append comment to endif
* reuse existing ARRLEN macro
* comment fall through
* use while (true) everywhere

mv(1) inside the same filesystem was not detected.
Supporting this case made it necessary to always watch the directory. Turns out
the logic and state keeping between arl_setup() and arl_handle() is easier,
when using different watch descriptors for the file and the directory and not
using a oneshot descriptor for the file.
Requiring an absolute canonical path for arl_setup() simplifies dir and base
name splitting. No need for dirname(3) and basename(3) anymore.
Make the header only contain the public interface and nothing from the
implementation. All functions get a handle to their self object, like the img_
and tns_ and win_ functions. All necessary data (file path) is also passed as
an argument, so that no extern redeclarations are needed.
Make arl_setup_dir() private, it's not called outside the module.
Make arl_handle() return true if the file has changed, so that the reloading of
the file can be done by the caller.
