options: enable use-damage by default
Since user reports indicate it has real performance benefits.

Also add a command line flag for turning use-damage off.

Fixes #242

Deprecate --glx-swap-method
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.

vsync: choose vsync method automatically

Parse number locale-independently
Previously we were using glibc's strtod function to parse floating point
numbers. The problem is, strtod is locale dependent. Meaning 7,7 might
be parsed as two numbers (7 and 7) in one locale, and parsed as one
number (7 point 7) in another locale. This is undesirable.

We need to set the locale to a value we know to make number parsing
consistently. We could use setlocale(), but that is not thread-safe. We
can also use uselocale(), which is thread-safe, but doesn't cover strtod
(Yeah, some of the locale-aware functions only acknowledge the global
locale, not the thread local one).

So in frustration, I just wrote a simple floating point number parser
myself. This parser obviously doesn't cover all cases strtod covers, but
is good enough for our needs.

Man page improvements
* Removed the AUTHORS section as recommended by man-pages(7),
  the conventions for writing Linux man pages.
* Change the secion name to the more commonly used "User Commands".
* Don't say "this man page might be out dated".
* Always use the current version number of compton as "man version" in
  the man pages.

Also bumped the project version in meson.build

Yuxuan Shui b18d46bcbd Revert "Remove xrender-sync and xrender-sync-fence"
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.

Yuxuan Shui 50e2259404 Remove xrender-sync and xrender-sync-fence
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.
