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.

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.

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.

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
