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.
Closes#265

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.)

When enabled, the result will be redirected to a window, and compton
won't take over the screen.
Makes debugging easier.

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.

* Make some functions in win.c pure
* Remove unused code
* Fix misuse of attr_const, const functions shouldn't exam data pointed
to by its pointer arguments.

Now both the old and the new backends are compiled in, the user can
choose which one to use with a command line switch.
Lower the barrier for testing.

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.

Window state tracking is basically the back bond of window fading. We
add a new enum field to the win struct to track the state of the window,
instead of using a set of boolean variables. We also remove the fading
callbacks, since it is only used for fading, so the potential of code
reuse is lost. And it makes the code slightly harder to understand.
Also fixed a problem that --no-fading-openclose is not behaving as
advertised (from my observation, enabling this flag disables fading
entirely, instead of just diabling it for open/close).
Also uses double for opacity everywhere internally. Use opacity_t only
when setting X opacity prop.

If fork is requested, we fork as early as possible, way before anything
is initialized. This way, we don't need to do the gymnastics to make
OpenGL work properly across fork.

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.

Move filling winopts with default values to after command line options have
been parsed, not after parsing the config file. This is more intuitive.

* 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.

Make sure the wintype options are properly initialized even when there
is no config file specified/supported.

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.

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.
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.
