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.

Calling ev_break() in a signal handler doesn't work. Instead, we setup a

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.

It will cause compton to print out some rudimentary diagnostics.
Also small improvements of the meson.build.

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.
IANAL, but I think I am allowed to add missing copyright notices for
someone else. And I did my best job using git history to figure out who
wrote which functions. So I hope everything is fine.
Bugs:
* There seems to be a noticeable frame loss when window
is being opened/closed. But the same problem also exists
in master/next, so this is not a regression.
* Using --sw-opti and --benchmark at the same time causing
compton to draw more frequently than permitted by the
arguments. That is because the sleep interval calculation
is flawed. Not really a regression either.
Verified still working:
* Usual painting
* Fade
* Benchmark mode
* --sw-opti (with or without benchmark mode)
* DBus
* Unredir delay

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.

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