Currently compton handles window creation event by immediately query all
the information it needs and create a window struct with that
information. However, this is prone to race conditions.
In the future, we want to react to window creation event by creating a
placeholder in the window stack, and only query window information in a
critical section where the X server is grabbed by us.
This commit split struct win into two struct, one as placeholder, the
other for holding actual window information.

Setting glx-swap-method to value other than "undefined" and "buffer-age"
could potentially cause rendering problems. So remove them, the meaning
of the remaining options can be more precisely captured by "use-damage",
so create a new option under that name.
--glx-swap-method is deprecated in favor of the new option --use-damage.

Instead of storing them as an array of xfixed.
Might cause some performance overhead for the new backend, because
it is allocating a buffer to do the conversion every frame. Will fix
later.

Put them all into one function, and move the function pointers out of
glx_session_t, making them global variables (because them don't change
after initialized). Remove the function pointer typedefs and replace
them with the ones in glxext.h
We also only lookup the functions once per a lifetime of compton.

In X, background pixmap is tiled (meaning they are repeated to filled
the window) by default. So, in the glx backend, we mimic this behavior
by binding the background pixmap of the root window (aka, the wallpaper)
to texture that repeats.
Fixes#107

Background: To bind a Xorg window content to a OpenGL FBConfig, which
has to match the color format the Xorg window is using.
Previously, compton just find a FBConfig that has the same depth. This
led to chjj/compton#477, which has been fixed by a ugly hack.
The commit refactor the lookup mechanism to take as much into
consideration as we reasonably can. Hopefully preventing similar
breakages in the future.
Also, some code sharing between the old and new glx backend.

glDrawBuffers doesn't take GL_BACK, which is what we are passing. And we
are using only one buffer argument anyway, no need to use glDrawBuffers.

Buffer age is not a glx specific concept. xrender backend can have
buffer age too, if double buffering is used (required if we want to use
Present). So, make buffer age a generic concept in compton is required
for further backend improvements.
Moved buffer age based damage aggragation out of glx as well.

Slightly clean up header inclusion with the help of clang's module system.
It's better for files to include the things you need directly.

glStringMarker is usually only available when running under some
kind of GL debugger, and can be used to insert strings into the
GL command string. Writing logs using it can be useful, since it
lets us correspond GL calls with what happens in compton.

* Pass a options_t, not session_t
* Slightly improve error handling when setting vsync method via dbus
The goal here is to limit the scope of what a given function can access.
And session_t contains basically everything, so don't pass it around.

This reverts commit 50e2259404.
Temporarily revert the removal until we have more information about this whole
thing.
Turns out a couple of drivers don't work properly without the sync fence,
including intel, llvmpipe and NVIDIA.
Although sync fence is needed, from the information I have gathered (looking
at old bug reports, protocol specifications, look at other compositors' code),
compton's usage of it is not proper. So we need to rewrite it in the future,
after we get more information from driver developers.

This was a dubious "fix" for a Nvidia driver problem. The problem was
never fully understood, and the then developers took a shotgun approach
and implemented xsync fences as a fix. Which somehow fixed the problem.
Again, I don't see any indication that the developers understood why
this "fix" worked.
(for details, see chjj/compton#152 and chjj/compton#181)
The driver problem should have been fixed almost 5 years ago. So this
shouldn't be needed anymore. In addition the way compton uses xsync fences
is apparently wrong according to the xsync spec (fences are attached to
screen, but compton uses them as if they were attached to drawables).
So, I will try removing it and see if anyone will complain. If there are
real concrete reasons why fences are needed, it will be brought back.

IANAL, but I think I am allowed to add missing copyright notices for
someone else. And I did my best job using git history to figure out who
wrote which functions. So I hope everything is fine.
