First step of split backend into modules 
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

Compton

This is a development branch, bug to be expected

This is forked from the original Compton because that seems to have become unmaintained.

The current battle plan of this fork is to refactor it to make the code possible to maintain, so potential contributors won't be scared away when they take a look at the code.

We also try to fix bugs.

The original README can be found here

  • libXext
  • xproto
  • xcb
  • xcb-damage
  • xcb-xfixes
  • xcb-shape
  • xcb-renderutil
  • xcb-render
  • xcb-randr
  • xcb-composite
  • xcb-image
  • xcb-present
  • xcb-xinerama (optional, disable with the -Dxinerama=false meson configure flag)
