/**
* Transactions enable us to perform atomic layout updates.
*
* A transaction contains a list of containers and their new state.
* A state might contain a new size, or new border settings, or new parent/child
* relationships.
*
* Committing a transaction makes sway notify of all the affected clients with
* their new sizes. We then wait for all the views to respond with their new
* surface sizes. When all are ready, or when a timeout has passed, we apply the
* updates all at the same time.
*
* When we want to make adjustments to the layout, we change the pending state
* in containers, mark them as dirty and call transaction_commit_dirty(). This
* create and commits a transaction from the dirty containers.
