Massive configuration overhaul

Currently paying the price of months of non-diligent git usage.

Here's what has changed.

- Theming support in Gvcci and wpgtk
- Dropping support for i3
- Supporting EXWM
- Many Elisp modules
- Collapsed redundant directories in ./configs

1. Clipmenu
Clipmenu is a service to store a history of copied strings.
Install it as:
```bash
$ cd ~/programming && g clone cdown/clipmenu
```
- TODO: Include `~/.config/systemd/user` in `configs/shared`.
- TODO: Obviate installation.
Ensure that it runs on startup:
```bash
$ cd ~/programming/clipmenu
$ cp clipmenu clipmenud clipdel ~/bin # You may not need to do this step.
$ vim init/clipmenud.service
# Change the ExecStart line to point to ~/bin/clipmenud
$ cp init/clipmenud.service ~/.config/systemd/user/clipmenud.service
$ systemctl --user start clipmenud
$ systemctl --user enable clipmenud # This step may be optional.
$ reboot
$ systemctl --user status clipmenud # Verify installation worked.

1. Install shared executables
Some files should be kept out of this repository. Things that come to mind
include secrets (e.g. `monzo_creds.json.gpg`) and binaries.
Secrets should be kept out of this repository in case. It might be okay to
include them herein since they should be encrypted. But just to add an
additional layer of security, I avoid adding them.
Executables are kept out of version control since they can be quite large. For
example, my `/usr/bin` is `8.9G` at the time of this writing. Also it can be
noisy to see diffs of binaries after upgrading programs.
While sharing binaries across systems feels brittle, everything should function
as long as the machines across which the binaries are shared run Linux and have
i386 architectures.

$ ln -s ~/Dropbox/bin ~/bin

## GnuPG + Git
1. Register newly created `[S]` signing subkey as `signingkey`
1. Enforce commit-signing
1. Opt into `gpg2` usage
## Terminals and Fonts
```bash
$ git config --global user.signingkey <SIGNING_KEY>
$ git config --global commit.gpgsign true
$ git config --global gpg.program gpg2
```
## GnuPG + GPG-Agent
Setup `gpg-agent` to use password caching by adding the following entries to
`~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf` (already done in this repository):
```
default-cache-ttl 300 max-cache-ttl 3600
```
## True Color and Italics
At the time of this writing, Suckless's `st` terminal provides True Color and
italics support. It's also important to test that this support remains when
inside of Vim or inside of a Tmux session or both.
### TrueColor
To test for your terminal's True Color support, run:
Any terminal or font I choose should pass the following checks:
```bash
$ test_true_color
```
Enable TrueColor in your `init.vim` (already done in this repository):
```viml
set termguicolors
```
### Italics
To test if your terminal supports italics and other text treatments, run:
```bash
$ test_16_colors
$ test_text_formatting
$ test_unicode
$ test_emojis
```
### Ligatures
At the time of this writing, Suckless's `st` does not appear to support
ligatures.
## Miscellaneous notes
* Executables are shared at `~/Dropbox/bin` and not kept within this repository
to avoid the bloat.
* Map `<CAPS_LOCK>` key to `<ESC>`
* Increase key-repeat rate
* Decrease key-repeat-delay
* Increase mouse speed
If using a font with ligature (e.g. Hasklig) assert that your terminal also support ligatures.
