Previously, only the WM windows (window manager usually reparents the
application windows under its own window so it can manage them) are
checked for alpha channels. Some of the window managers (e.g. awesome)
acquire alpha channels for all of the WM windows, whether the underlying
application windows have alpha channel or not.
With this change, the application windows are also checked for alpha
channels. If a WM window has alpha but its child doesn't, only the WM
frame will be considered to be semi-transparent. Thus preventing some
unnecessary blurring.
Closes#191

When a window is reparented to the same parent again, we should just
move it to the top of the stack, instead of add it again.
Also a slight refactor restack_win.

A window might be mapped before we had the chance to start managing it.
So check to see if we should map a window after we call fill_win on it.

Currently compton handles window creation event by immediately query all
the information it needs and create a window struct with that
information. However, this is prone to race conditions.
In the future, we want to react to window creation event by creating a
placeholder in the window stack, and only query window information in a
critical section where the X server is grabbed by us.
This commit split struct win into two struct, one as placeholder, the
other for holding actual window information.

Previously we try to keep the image data until the rebind succeeds. This
way even if the rebind fails, we still have something to display.
But that triggers a NVIDIA driver bug. Basically you cannot have more
than one names (XIDs) of a window pixmap. NVIDIA driver doesn't like
that, and binding the pixmap with its aliases will fail. This can
sometimes happen if we name the new pixmap before freeing the old one during
rebind, and the pixmap doesn't actually change (i.e. the rebind is
unnecessary, could happen because of X event handling complications).

Instead queue up configure notification while the window is unmapped,
just update the window geometry when the window is mapped.
Simplify the logic a little bit.

Use a flag to mark whether the image needs update, and only update once
per frame.
Also refactor some common code into functions, and handle image errors
properly.

Pass the visible region of the image to the backend, so the backend

Only case where you want to map window in add_win() is during compton
startup, when compton is registering existing windows. Otherwise,
add_win() is always called for newly created windows, so there will
always be a MapNotify coming up for that window. If we map newly created
windows in add_win(), we will try to map it a second time when the MapNotify
arrives.
So, just don't call map_win() from add_win(). For compton startup, we
explicitly call map_win() after calling add_win() in session_init.

If a window is destroyed and starts to fade out when screen is
unredirected, when the screen become redirected again, we will generate
errors when trying to render that window.
Also make sure the assumption that all window are either MAPPED or
UNMAPPED when screen is unredirected holds.

Destruction of Input Only windows is erroneously ignored by commit
cea010a, causing future window with the same window id as the destroyed
Input Only window to be treated by an Input Only window even when they
are not. The end result is that some windows don't show up.
Also improved the comments in win.c.
Fixes#119

A side effect of this is that some window properties are allowed to
change during fade-in/out. (e.g. window background can become blurred
during window fade out if window properties changed so blur is requirired).
But it is unclear what is the expected behaviour in this case anyway, so we
choose the one that is simpler to implement.

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.

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

* Vsync related functions to vsync.c

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.
