Buffer age is not a glx specific concept. xrender backend can have
buffer age too, if double buffering is used (required if we want to use
Present). So, make buffer age a generic concept in compton is required
for further backend improvements.
Moved buffer age based damage aggragation out of glx as well.

Previously, compton fails to stop draw_idle in some cases when sw_opti
is enabled.
sw_opti is a feature that limits the draw frequence to vblank frequence.
It adds a delay to drawing when the screen is updated more frequently
than the vblank frequence. However when the delay is not used (i.e. the
screen is updated infrequent enough), compton will start drawing the
frame directly without using the delay. And specically in this case,
compton will fail to stop the draw_idle, causing a callback to be called
once per loop of the mainloop, resulting in high CPU usage.
Fixes#92

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.

glStringMarker is usually only available when running under some
kind of GL debugger, and can be used to insert strings into the
GL command string. Writing logs using it can be useful, since it
lets us correspond GL calls with what happens in compton.

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

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
