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.

This commit introduced a new, modular backend interface. The interface
is not very good, since I don't think I fully understand all the
requirements writing a backend have. But this is a good first step.
This commit also includes an initial xrender backend written using the
new interface, and some opengl backend related helper functions, which
are taken from the old opengl backend.
However, there is not integration with the core compton yet. compton
will still use the old backend code. This commit is here so we can get
the automated build test.
What is implemented in the new xrender backend:
* Windows with transparency
* Shadow
* Opacity
* Wallpaper (getting the root pixmap)
* Blur
Known problem with the xrender backend:
* It is slower
Things that still need to be figured out:
* What is the better way to add vsync to the new backends

* 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.

And improve some of the log messages. Like, when compton exits because
of unsupported options, explain which options are causing compton to
quit.
Convert some debugging messages that are guarded behind ifdef's to log_trace,
so user don't need to re-compile to enabled them.

Moved:
* 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.

* string functions mstr*() are moved to string_utils.c
* allocation wrappers are moved to utils.h

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.
