For more complicated configurations with several actions activated
through clicks on various connected modules, it is currently necessary
to have each of those connected modules exec their own subprocess to
produce the wanted output. This is problematic because it greatly
increases CPU usage.
Implement a new configuration option for bars, "custom-execs", which
contains an array of subprocess specifications ("exec", "exec_if",
"interval", "restart-interval"). The bar runs each of these executables
and reads their output. The output is in the form of a JSON object with
module names as keys and either strings (for "raw" type output) or
objects (for "json" type output) as values. These values are forwarded
to the custom modules named by the keys.
