Before we had a function that updated display-buffer-alist whenever
the frame's size was changed, so that info windows like flymake or
flycheck open would snap to either the bottom or right hand side of the
frame depending on whether the window manager had the frame squeezed
vertically (like when you have two windows side by side split
vertically).
Now instead of having that function run every time the frame resizes,
we just make the 'side property a function that should get evaluated
each time the property is read. The function returns either 'bottom or
'right depending on the frame's current size in pixels.
We will now put non-config related functions (any elisp libraries or
snippets that I write) into a new ".emacs.d/lisp" directory and separate them from
the config code in the ".emacs.d/config" directory.
During the transition I decided to move and rewrite the logic that
adds all of the libraries to load-path. Now this logic is in two top
level files (load-config.el load-local-lisp.el). I needed to remove
the config-programming-languages module because it conflicted with the
new load-path logic (it was mostly useless anyways).
The man advice functions are deleted in this commit but they will be
added into the new ".emacs.d/lisp" directory soon.
