Buffer age is not a glx specific concept. xrender backend can have
buffer age too, if double buffering is used (required if we want to use
Present). So, make buffer age a generic concept in compton is required
for further backend improvements.
Moved buffer age based damage aggragation out of glx as well.

Previously, compton fails to stop draw_idle in some cases when sw_opti
is enabled.
sw_opti is a feature that limits the draw frequence to vblank frequence.
It adds a delay to drawing when the screen is updated more frequently
than the vblank frequence. However when the delay is not used (i.e. the
screen is updated infrequent enough), compton will start drawing the
frame directly without using the delay. And specically in this case,
compton will fail to stop the draw_idle, causing a callback to be called
once per loop of the mainloop, resulting in high CPU usage.

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

When using DRI2, Mesa uses XESetWireToEvent to hook into Xlib's event

which is crucial to the normal functioning of GLX.
When xcb is owning the event queue (meaning libxcb is doing all the
event handling), those functions registered by Mesa will never be
called, thus GLX will malfunction, leading to screen flickers or visual
artifacts.

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.

after 241 requests (241 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

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.

If an X event is received at a very specific point in time, it can trigger
a race condition in Xlib. Said event will be read, but Xlib will
nonetheless be completely unaware of the event.
This cause compton to sometimes block on select() while there are events
ready to be processed. If the event is a damage report, screen freeze
will happen until some other event is received.
The proper fix is to switch to xcb for event handling, thus avoid this
problem entirely.
There seems to be a race between DamageAdd (what the client uses
to report damage to Xserver) and DamageSubtract (what compton uses
to clear the reported damage, so it can receive new ones). I am not
sure how to confirm this. But this (terrible) workaround seems to
solve this problem.
* Move code around
* Remove unneeded forward declaration
* Rename win->damaged to win->ever_damaged, to be less confusing
* Expose debug functions even when DEBUG is not enabled. Compiler
would remove the dead code for us anyway.
* Some code cleanup
Also move static function prototypes out of compton.h. Seems like the
previous developers didn't know what header files are for.
Seems to have bugs after the split.
Before becoming the selection owner for _NET_WM_CM_Sn, compton will now check if
that selection is already owned (which means that another composite manager is
already running). If this check fails, startup will be refused. This behaviour
is required by EWMH / ICCCM.
Because this should catch all composite managers, the error message that was
used before when another manager is already running is reworded to mention that
the other manager does not follow EWMH.

Under extreme race conditions (window A close at the same time as window
B create), there can be multiple windows with same id in compton's window
list. If at this point window B closes itself as well, finish_destroy_win
might destroy a different window as what's passed to destroy_callback.
This can be a problem because someone can still hold a reference to that
window (e.g. 't' in paint_preprocess), and there's no way to clear that
reference. If finish_destroy_win always destroy the same window passed
to destroy_callback, this will not be a problem.
- Remove the const function attribute from get_time_*(), since the
functions they call that actually get the time probably access global
variables or have other behaviors unacceptable for const functions.
- Change the const function attribute on win_has_frame() to pure, as it
accesses memory its parameter points to, which is invalid for a const
function.
Bug fix: Select the larger of the X window border width and
_NET_FRAME_EXTENTS, instead of adding them together, when determining
the frame extents. (Supposedly) more EWMH compliant, as EWMH
_NET_FRAME_EXTENTS should include the X window border width already. We
did not choose to completely rely on _NET_FRAME_EXTENTS to remove the
need to keep track of whether there is a _NET_FRAME_EXTENTS, and
(hopefully) take care of some cases when it is wrong. The commit should
fix awesomeWM/awesome#425. Thanks to psychon for the information. (#302)

Fix the bug that --active-opacity state does not change

win_is_focused_real() instead of w->focused, which could be changed even
if w->focused does not change (e.g. when the window is

session_init(), etc.
Possible fix for a very rare timing issue in focus detection. Compton
may fail to detect the currently focused window, when a window newly
mapped gets focused, we failed to listen to events and get FocusIn from
it in time, and a series of focus change events before it happens stay
in the event queue and puzzled compton. My choice is to force focus
recheck on all focus-related events. More roundtrips to X, but not
necessarily worse performance, due to the high cost of focus flipping
especially when there's a lot of conditions. Thanks to SlackBox for
reporting. (#153)
