Currently compton handles window creation event by immediately query all
the information it needs and create a window struct with that
information. However, this is prone to race conditions.
In the future, we want to react to window creation event by creating a
placeholder in the window stack, and only query window information in a
critical section where the X server is grabbed by us.
This commit split struct win into two struct, one as placeholder, the
other for holding actual window information.

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
