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.

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.

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

Both methods are redundant. Prefer Mesa's own extension when available,
fall back to the old SGI extension otherwise (NVIDIA drivers for the
most part).
This should give us sane item size, i.e. the item has the same number of
bits their format says they have.

Foolish of me to assume the returned window property items have the same

Apparently, format = 32 means the return items are 64 bits long (on

The old shadow kernel formula is not "wrong" per se, as the only judge
is if it looks good. However, the formula used is not really gaussian.
Also, the kernel size calculation doesn't really make sense to me.
This commit change the kernel formula to actually use a gaussian
distribution. As far as I can tell, there is no perceivable difference.
Except now the effective shadow radius is smaller for the same config.
Also, made that part of code a bit more mordern.

When using DRI2, Mesa uses XESetWireToEvent to hook into Xlib's event
handling loop, so it can get notified when certain DRI2 event happens,
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 commit uses a hack from Qt to manually call those functions in
compton.

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.

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.
