"notify" is the only wintype that has a name inconsistent with its Xorg
name. So fix that.
Compatibility code is added as well, so the old "notify" wintype name
still works.

Transparent windows usually blends on top of other windows, this commit
adds an option to make transparent windows clip other windows like
non-transparent windows do.

leftovers:
1) config file path. Has to implement compatibility functionalities before
we can change it.
2) links in man pages. Has to migrate the repo first.
3) _COMPTON_SHADOW, it has become a defacto standard, so we have to keep
supporting it.
4) dbus names, undecided whether we should/could change it.

A quick search on GitHub showing the _COMPTON_SHADOW is actively being
used (most noteably, by polybar). It is not a difficult thing to support,
and it doesn't have that much runtime overhead. So remove the option
that guards this feature, make it enabled by default.
(Side note, I saw lots of people putting this option in their config
files, but this is actually a command line only option.)

Also add a command line flag for turning use-damage off.
Fixes#242

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.

Choose the best vsync method for the user, instead of asking them to
frustratingly try every one of the options to see what works.
With this commit, the `vsync` option will take only a boolean value.

Previously we were using glibc's strtod function to parse floating point
numbers. The problem is, strtod is locale dependent. Meaning 7,7 might
be parsed as two numbers (7 and 7) in one locale, and parsed as one
number (7 point 7) in another locale. This is undesirable.
We need to set the locale to a value we know to make number parsing
consistently. We could use setlocale(), but that is not thread-safe. We
can also use uselocale(), which is thread-safe, but doesn't cover strtod
(Yeah, some of the locale-aware functions only acknowledge the global
locale, not the thread local one).
So in frustration, I just wrote a simple floating point number parser
myself. This parser obviously doesn't cover all cases strtod covers, but
is good enough for our needs.

Also add a new option "log-file" to config file and command line, it
doesn the same thing as --logpath.
--logpath was never documented, and "log-file" is more consistent with
the naming of options.

* Removed the AUTHORS section as recommended by man-pages(7),
the conventions for writing Linux man pages.
* Change the secion name to the more commonly used "User Commands".
* Don't say "this man page might be out dated".
* Always use the current version number of compton as "man version" in
the man pages.
Also bumped the project version in meson.build

Both methods are redundant. Prefer Mesa's own extension when available,
fall back to the old SGI extension otherwise (NVIDIA drivers for the
most part).
This cause certain window types to be ignored in deciding whether the

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.
