In X, background pixmap is tiled (meaning they are repeated to filled
the window) by default. So, in the glx backend, we mimic this behavior
by binding the background pixmap of the root window (aka, the wallpaper)
to texture that repeats.
Fixes#107

If fork is requested, we fork as early as possible, way before anything
is initialized. This way, we don't need to do the gymnastics to make
OpenGL work properly across fork.

Replace most of XFlush with xcb_flush.
Also, in a lot of places, XFlush is used as if it is XSync. Replace
those cases by using xcb's _checked version of functions and
xcb_request_check.

Background: To bind a Xorg window content to a OpenGL FBConfig, which
has to match the color format the Xorg window is using.
Previously, compton just find a FBConfig that has the same depth. This
led to chjj/compton#477, which has been fixed by a ugly hack.
The commit refactor the lookup mechanism to take as much into
consideration as we reasonably can. Hopefully preventing similar
breakages in the future.
Also, some code sharing between the old and new glx backend.

As a global variable, since they shouldn't change during the period
compton is running. Also limit the scope of the variable to x.c.

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.

Previously the search order is:
~/.config/compton/compton.conf
/etc/xdg/compton/compton.conf
~/.config/compton.conf
/etc/xdg/compton.conf
...
Now the search order is:
~/.config/compton/compton.conf
~/.config/compton.conf
~/.compton.conf
/etc/xdg/compton/compton.conf
...
In other word, compton will now search all possible user config file
path first before searching for a system config file.

glDrawBuffers doesn't take GL_BACK, which is what we are passing. And we
are using only one buffer argument anyway, no need to use glDrawBuffers.

Xorg uses top left as origin, OpenGL uses lower left. So we need to flip
the y axis, and make sure we are using the right points as origin of
windows.

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.

Slightly clean up header inclusion with the help of clang's module system.
It's better for files to include the things you need directly.

glStringMarker is usually only available when running under some
kind of GL debugger, and can be used to insert strings into the
GL command string. Writing logs using it can be useful, since it
lets us correspond GL calls with what happens in compton.

Move filling winopts with default values to after command line options have
been parsed, not after parsing the config file. This is more intuitive.

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
Things that still need to be figured out:
* What is the better way to add vsync to the new backends
