* Blur kernel related functions to kernel.c
* Vsync related functions to vsync.c
* paint related functions to render.c
This will make the `split-backend` branch easier to rebase.

This should give us sane item size, i.e. the item has the same number of
bits their format says they have.

Foolish of me to assume the returned window property items have the same
number of bits their format says they have.
Apparently, format = 32 means the return items are 64 bits long (on
64-bit machines).

The old shadow kernel formula is not "wrong" per se, as the only judge
is if it looks good. However, the formula used is not really gaussian.
Also, the kernel size calculation doesn't really make sense to me.
This commit change the kernel formula to actually use a gaussian
distribution. As far as I can tell, there is no perceivable difference.
Except now the effective shadow radius is smaller for the same config.
Also, made that part of code a bit more mordern.

I just realized wintype option shadow and fade never worked. If you set
the global shadow option to true, wintype shadow option will have no effect.
Now the wintype options will properly override the global ones.
Also remove deprecated options from compton.sample.conf.

When this option is enabled for a window type, shadow will be drawn in
areas that are obscure by the shape of the window.
Useful when the given window type has parts of the window transparent,
and you want to have shadows in those areas.

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.

This is a potentially useful feature for debugging the xrender backend,
so make it a commandline option rather than an obscure compiler flag.
Also this is only usable with xrender, for glx there are better tools
for debugging.

--dbe does not seem to have an effect on tearing, as noted in the old
manpage, and confirmed by my own testing.
So remove it, since it complicates the logic of painting.

This way we don't need to update the bounding region after window moves.
Also add some comments about the coordinate systems in compton.
Also change a few function that takes a `bool global` parameter to
always return region in local coordinates.
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.
Bugs:
* There seems to be a noticeable frame loss when window
is being opened/closed. But the same problem also exists
in master/next, so this is not a regression.
* Using --sw-opti and --benchmark at the same time causing
compton to draw more frequently than permitted by the
arguments. That is because the sleep interval calculation
is flawed. Not really a regression either.
Verified still working:
* Usual painting
* Fade
* Benchmark mode
* --sw-opti (with or without benchmark mode)
* DBus
* Unredir delay

Re-did the painting logic, and document it.
It is unclear to me what is the previous painting logic. But the current
one is basically this:
1. Go through all windows top to bottom, and put visible windows (not
unmapped, opacity > 0, etc) into a linked list, from bottom to top
2. Accumulate a region of ignore on each window, which is basically the
region of screen that is obscured by all the windows above current
one.
3. Paint all the visible windows from bottom to top. Subtract the region
of ignore from the painting region. If we need to paint shadow, we
subtract the body of the window from the shadow painting region too,
because we don't want shadow behind the window.
4. region of ignore is invalidated when window stack change, an
window on top moved or changed shape, when window changed between
opaque and transparent, etc.
Notes:
It is unclear whether all the different shapes of a window (extents,
noframe, border, bounding shape, etc) are calculated correctly or not.
It is unclear if window shape related events are handled correctly or
not. Need more testing.

If an X event is received at a very specific point in time, it can trigger
a race condition in Xlib. Said event will be read, but Xlib will
nonetheless be completely unaware of the event.
This cause compton to sometimes block on select() while there are events
ready to be processed. If the event is a damage report, screen freeze
will happen until some other event is received.
The proper fix is to switch to xcb for event handling, thus avoid this
problem entirely.
* Move code around
* Remove unneeded forward declaration
* Rename win->damaged to win->ever_damaged, to be less confusing
* Expose debug functions even when DEBUG is not enabled. Compiler
would remove the dead code for us anyway.
* Some code cleanup
Also move static function prototypes out of compton.h. Seems like the
previous developers didn't know what header files are for.
Seems to have bugs after the split.
- Remove the const function attribute from get_time_*(), since the
functions they call that actually get the time probably access global
variables or have other behaviors unacceptable for const functions.
- Change the const function attribute on win_has_frame() to pure, as it
accesses memory its parameter points to, which is invalid for a const
function.
- Add margin_t, a structure that represents margins around a rectangle.
- Store frame extents of a window with margin_t, replacing the 4
fields ({left,right,top,bottom}_width) in struct _win.
- Add two helper macros, cmemzero() and cmemzero_one(), that zero out a
block of memory.
- Add glx_take_screenshot() for taking a screenshot. With ImageMagick
the output data could be viewed in this way:
display -size [SCREEN-WIDTH]x[SCREEN-HEIGHT] -depth 8 -flip
rgb:[PATH]
(#204)
- Add D-Bus command `opts_get string:paint_on_overlay_id` to get X
Composite overlay window ID. (#204)
- Code cleanup.
- Separate GLX parts from session_t into glx_session_t.
- Add --rererdir-on-root-change and --glx-reinit-on-root-change, as
possible solutions for #217. Thanks to jlindgren90 for reporting.
- Add --glx-fshader-win, which specifies a custom fragment shader for
painting windows. compton-default-fshader-win.glsl is the shader with
default behavior, and compton-fake-transparency-fshader-win.glsl
provides a template of fake transparency. (#183)
- Add --force-win-blend to force all windows to be painted with
blending.
- Add --no-fading-destroyed-argb, as a workaround of bugs in some WMs.
(#193)
Add `bounding_shape` and `rounded_corners` as condition match target.
Deprecate --shadow-ignore-shaped. Add rounded-corners detection to
win_is_fullscreen(). Slightly modify win_rounded_corners() logic. Thanks
to tdryer for reporting. (#191)
- Try to avoid evaluating conditions after window unmap/destruction.
Unfortunately, frequently this doesn't work due to the asynchronous
nature of X.
- Add _GTK_FRAME_EXTENTS exclusion rules to compton.sample.conf. Thanks
to memeplex, hexchain, and others for info. (#189)
- Add debugging option --show-all-xerrors, and other debugging changes.
Doc update.
- Add --xrender-sync{,-fence} to deal with redraw lag issue on GLX
backend. --xrender-sync-fence requires a sufficiently new xorg-server
and libXext. NO_XSYNC=1 may be used to disable it at compile time.
Thanks to tchebb for reporting and everybody else for testing. (#181)
- A bit code clean-up. Replace a few XSync() with XFlush() to minimize
the latency.
- Add "xr-glx-hybrid" as an alias of "xr_glx_hybrid". (#163)
- Clear damage history in expose_root() and when root window size
changes. Unfortunately this doesn't fix#181.
- Add new backend "xr_glx_hybird", which uses X Render for all
compositing but GLX on the last step of rendering to screen. This
makes GLX-backend-specific VSync methods usable while may avoid
certain bugs with GLX backend. The idea comes from ali1234.
Experimental.
- GLX backend: Stop using or rendering to depth buffer.
- Use glFinish() instead of glFlush() before VSync. It probably uses
more CPU but could be more reliable than glFlush().
- Add --write-pid-path to write process ID to a file, to help
determining compton's process ID when -b is used.
- Add a few extra targets to query through D-Bus opts_get (version, pid,
etc.) and through win_get, primarily for debugging.
- Add helper macros likely(), unlikely(), cmalloc(), ccalloc(),
crealloc().
- Change w->opacity_set to opacity_t. Determine display_repr in
session_init(), etc.
Possible fix for a very rare timing issue in focus detection. Compton
may fail to detect the currently focused window, when a window newly
mapped gets focused, we failed to listen to events and get FocusIn from
it in time, and a series of focus change events before it happens stay
in the event queue and puzzled compton. My choice is to force focus
recheck on all focus-related events. More roundtrips to X, but not
necessarily worse performance, due to the high cost of focus flipping
especially when there's a lot of conditions. Thanks to SlackBox for
reporting. (#153)
- Rewrite focus detection logic. Remove w->focused_real and use
ps->active_win to identify focused window uniformly. Use a more
expensive way to filter FocusIn/Out events to improve reliability.
Only limited tests are done, and bugs are likely to be introduced.
(#99)
- Known issue: Under fvwm, compton sometimes does not consistently
report the window input gets sent to. But there's something wrong in
that case: XGetInputFocus() shows the root window is focused but
another window is receiving input.
- Add --unredir-if-possible-exclude, to exclude certain windows when
evaluating --unredir-if-possible. (#140)
- Add --unredir-if-possible-delay, to add some delay before
unredirecting screen. (#138, #140)
- Code clean-up.
- Add stoppaint_force option, controlled via D-Bus, to stop painting
completely, which may look better than unredirecting the screen,
sometimes. (#41)
- Add x2, y2 matching targets.
- Update documentation.
- Add --paint-exclude to prevent certain windows from being painted, for
debugging purposes.
- Add predefined matching target "x", "y", "width", "height", "widthb",
"heightb", "border_width", and "fullscreen".
- Fix bug #119, wrong man page install dir in CMake configuration.
Thanks to sstewartgallus for reporting.
- Add --shadow-exclude-reg, which excludes certain regions on the screen
to have shadows painted in. (#116)
- Adjust session initialization order. Now X root and screen info and
basic X extensions are available in configuration parsing step.
- Add --opacity-rule, which sets opacity based on conditions, as
requested by zabbal. (#113)
- Add a data field for each condition.
- Correct the FAQ link in README.md. Silly me.
- Code clean-up.
