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

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.

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.

And improve some of the log messages. Like, when compton exits because
of unsupported options, explain which options are causing compton to
quit.
Convert some debugging messages that are guarded behind ifdef's to log_trace,
so user don't need to re-compile to enabled them.

Moved:
* Blur kernel related functions to kernel.c
* Vsync related functions to vsync.c
* paint related functions to render.c
This will make the `split-backend` branch easier to rebase.

IANAL, but I think I am allowed to add missing copyright notices for
someone else. And I did my best job using git history to figure out who
wrote which functions. So I hope everything is fine.
Re-did the painting logic, and document it.
It is unclear to me what is the previous painting logic. But the current
one is basically this:
1. Go through all windows top to bottom, and put visible windows (not
unmapped, opacity > 0, etc) into a linked list, from bottom to top
2. Accumulate a region of ignore on each window, which is basically the
region of screen that is obscured by all the windows above current
one.
3. Paint all the visible windows from bottom to top. Subtract the region
of ignore from the painting region. If we need to paint shadow, we
subtract the body of the window from the shadow painting region too,
because we don't want shadow behind the window.
4. region of ignore is invalidated when window stack change, an
window on top moved or changed shape, when window changed between
opaque and transparent, etc.
Notes:
It is unclear whether all the different shapes of a window (extents,
noframe, border, bounding shape, etc) are calculated correctly or not.
It is unclear if window shape related events are handled correctly or
not. Need more testing.

Also remove some debug function calls (there are better tools for opengl
debugging now). Also remove copysubbuffermesa

- Separate GLX parts from session_t into glx_session_t.
- Add --rererdir-on-root-change and --glx-reinit-on-root-change, as
possible solutions for #217. Thanks to jlindgren90 for reporting.
- Add --xrender-sync{,-fence} to deal with redraw lag issue on GLX
backend. --xrender-sync-fence requires a sufficiently new xorg-server
and libXext. NO_XSYNC=1 may be used to disable it at compile time.
Thanks to tchebb for reporting and everybody else for testing. (#181)
- A bit code clean-up. Replace a few XSync() with XFlush() to minimize
the latency.
- Fix a bug that glx_bind_pixmap() doesn't work with mesa drivers.
Thanks to Janhouse and mkraemer for reporting. (#7)
- Use stencil buffer to attempt to eliminate potential double-paint
issue in glx_render(). X Fixes doesn't guarantee the rectangles in a
region do not overlap, and this may cause some regions to be painted
twice, which would be a problem if we are painting transparent things.
Now the target window must have a stencil buffer. Compiz uses its own
region implementation to deal with this, but as a lightweight
compositor we can't really do the same. It may have a positive or
negative effort over performance. Callgrind result indicates basically
no change in performance, but this may or may not be true.
- Correctly distinguish GL extensions and GLX extensions. Sorry. :-D
- Handle screen size. Thanks to tsmithe for reporting. (#7)
- Rename OpenGL backend to GLX backend, because, we might have a EGL
backend someday.
- Add configuration file option `backend` to specify backend. Add
`backend` to D-Bus `opts_get`.
- Add OpenGL shader compilation code, but currently unused.
- Minor adjustments.
- Known issue: Window content doesn't get updated in VirtualBox,
probably because its OpenGL implementation requires constant rebinding
of texture. But that's really slow...
- Known issue: Blur feature is still unimplemented in GLX backend.
- Add experimental OpenGL backend (--opengl). --blur-background is
currently not possible with this backend, because I'm still trying to
find a proper way to do blur with OpenGL. Flipping backend on-the-fly
is really hard, so it isn't supported right now. No configuration file
option exists to enable this, because it isn't stable enough.
- Add `opengl-swc` VSync method that uses SGI_swap_control to control
buffer swap, with OpenGL backend. (#7)
- Fix a potential read-from-freed-memory issue in paint_all().
- Correctly reattach GLX context after fork.
- Dump error text in error(). Add GLX error code handling.
- Code clean-up.
- Known issues: Region operations take a lot of time in glx_render().
I'm hesitating about what to do.
