placement: Add next_to

This commit add the last placement function imported from the
Radical module.

It allows to place a wibox/client next to another object. It tries
to find the best fit. It also support wibox widgets.

This is intended for tooltips and menus, but can also be used in
`awful.rules` to place the new client as close as possible to the
focused one without overlap.
