mandos-monitor: avoid deprecation warnings from urwid

The urwid.FlowWidget class is deprecated.  Replace it with inheriting
from urwid.Widget, and setting the appropriate class attribute.

* mandos-monitor: Replace any mentions of urwid.FlowWidget with
  urwid.Widget.
  (MandosClientWidget): Inherit from "urwid.Widget" instead of
  "urwid.FlowWidget".  Also, move MandosClientPropertyCache to first
  in inheritance list so that its __init__ method can absorb the
  "proxy_object" and "properties" keyword arguments.
  (MandosClientWidget._sizing): New class attribute; set to
  "frozenset(["flow"])".

(Thanks to an anonymous contributor for reporting this.)
