Automatically reset picom and reload the configuration when a change in
the configuration file is detected.

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

Instead of allocating new textures everytime gl_average_texture_color is
called, we keep two textures per gl_image and reuse those.
Doing this significantly improves CPU usage on AMDGPU driver for some
reason. But in general, less texture allocation is always better.

Rationale:
- "bug to be expected" -> "bugs to be expected". Usually the noun is plural in this expression (since more than one bug is likely to be found in the future).
- "because that seems to be unmaintained" -> "because it seems to be unmaintained". Using a demonstrative pronoun ("that") versus a personal pronoun ("it") suggests that we need to specify which of several Comptons is unmaintained.
- "features" -> "feature" and "stabilizes" -> "stabilize". The new backends are plural, should be conjugated without the trailing "s".
- "used" -> "use". The command used to launch picom has already been run. Changing to "use" indicates the command that habitually launches picom. Also changed "command line" (the interface, e.g. the prompt) to "command".
- "Rational" (adjective: based on reason) -> "Rationale" (noun: the reasons or logic that motivated an action)
- "when people searches" -> "when people search". Usually conjugated as plural [1](https://english.stackexchange.com/q/263046)
- "to solve aforementioned problems" -> "to solve the aforementioned problems". "Aforementioned" is preceded by a definite article when modifying a noun.
- "mentions to" (usually used in suggesting an 'honourable mention'/accolade regarding somebody) -> "mentions of" (instances of)
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.)

Firstly, this breaks the assumption that when we redirect the screen,
all window is either mapped or unmapped, causing a assertion failure.
Secondly, if transition window into fading when the screen is not
redirected, the fading will not progress until the screen is redirected,
probably not the desired result.

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

Because first frame no window has their pixmap bound, which doesn't
happen in frames after the first. If a window is unmapped in that frame,
the compositor will try to render a window with no pixmap bound if
fading is enabled.
Now we keep track if we are in the first frame, and if that's the case
we skip fading in unmap/destroy.

This simplifies the logic a bit since we know a shadow is always bound
(if needed) when the screen is redirected.

If a window is unmapped during the draw_callback re-run when the screen
is just redirected, that window won't get a chance to acquire a pixmap.
If fading is enabled, the compositor will try to render that window and
crash.

Previously all image stale flags are ignored when processing an unmapped
window. If a window gains a shadow during its fading out transition, the
shadow flag will be set, but shadow won't actually be generated, causing
a NULL pointer dereference during render.
