There were still some artifacts left when multiple semi-transparent
windows are stacked on top of each other.

Instead of rendering into the back buffer, render into a intermediate
texture.
This is a preparation for partial screen updating, which is necessary to
eliminate artifacts visible when using blur and use-damage together.

In theory, it should be fine. But it causes mesa to stuck in
xcb_wait_for_special_event, indicating X connection setup issues.
Instead of investigating what went wrong in mesa, I choose to apply this
simple fix.

-Wextra is removed, some of the warning flags included in -Wextra are
now explicitly set.
-Wno-unused-parameter is removed. The warnings will take a while to fix.

Doing this forces compton to blur every windows' background.
However, doing this can be beneficial, we will figure out a way
to do this properly in the future.

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.

During normalization of the kernel, the center element is added to the
sum twice, causing the resulting elements to be smaller than they should
be.

This is done by extending the blur area internally when process
blurring.
Ping: #50, cause this fixes that problem but only when using the
experiemental backends.

When enabled, the result will be redirected to a window, and compton
won't take over the screen.
Makes debugging easier.

This will use --bindir value to install additional scripts into the same location
as compton binary (current behavior: hardcoded $prefix/bin).
Useful for custom installations and/or cross-compiling.
