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.

Change `win *` to `win **`, because a window could be freed by the
callback, so we can set `*w` to NULL to communicate that.

Also remove some debug function calls (there are better tools for opengl
debugging now). Also remove copysubbuffermesa

Instead use win_has_alpha to check for alpha channel, window mode is
reserved for determine if the window is possibly transparent.

The existing mechanism with set_ignore_next() is (IMHO) ugly and also
does not work with XCB requests. This commit adds a new function
set_ignore_cookie() and fixes callers that were converted to XCB to use
this new function instead.

Errors for requests sent via Xlib that expect a reply are handled via
XSetErrorHandler(), which sets up a callback function that Xlib calls.
Errors for requests that do not expect a reply or for errors caused via
unchecked XCB requests show up as events of type 0 in the event handling
function.
Before this commit, errors were ignored here. This commit changes the
code so that the errors are printed instead.

Note that this adds an include for Xfixes.h, because that header is
still needed and was previously included through Xcomposite.h.

The X11 server's answer is not \0-terminated, so xcb_str_name() also
does not provide a \0-terminated pointer.

No functional changes intended. The new xcb_damage_query_version() was
previously done by XDamageQueryExtension() internally.

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.
There seems to be a race between DamageAdd (what the client uses
to report damage to Xserver) and DamageSubtract (what compton uses
to clear the reported damage, so it can receive new ones). I am not
sure how to confirm this. But this (terrible) workaround seems to
solve this problem.
