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

Unsupported backends were rejected when we try to initialize them, now
we reject them in the option parsing phase.

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.)

Since user reports indicate it has real performance benefits.
Also add a command line flag for turning use-damage off.
Fixes#242

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.

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.

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

When setting --shadow-exclude-reg from both the config file and the
command line, one of the strings is not freed.

Also add a new option "log-file" to config file and command line, it
doesn the same thing as --logpath.
--logpath was never documented, and "log-file" is more consistent with
the naming of options.

* 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.
