there are two x extensions for working with monitors (especially
multiple): xinerama and randr. xinerama is old, feature-poor and in
general isn't used anymore compared to the randr: new, feature-rich and
widely-used. for some reason we were using both of them, so let's drop
xinerama to keep things simple, clean and small. and to be modern.
the drop was done in three steps:
* first step was to replace all the xinerama-based code with the
randr-based one and to replace or remove all the xinerama mentions;
* second step was to replace the xinerama's terminology with the
randr's one. xinerama was referring only to the word "screen", while
randr refers to multiple words and i think the word "monitor" is the
most suitable for us and, hopefully, clear both to a contributor and
to an end user;
* third step was to refactor the new randr-based code if needed and to
address related todo's (mostly about moving related functions
elsewhere).
all the steps were done well except addressing a leftover todo about
moving the win_update_monitor function to the x.c which wasn't done.
the xinerama-shadow-crop option was renamed to crop-shadow-to-monitor,
but it's previous name is still accepted, has effect and the
deprecation message is printed to preserve backwards-compatibility.
Used for setting custom window shaders and rules for choosing custom
window shaders.
Added a "c2_userdata_free" parameter to c2_list_free, so allocated userdata
stored in nodes can be freed.

It was deprecated in v6, but wasn't formally deprecated back then (e.g.
no warnings were printed for it). So formally deprecate it here.
This also left the refresh-rate option unused, so that will be
deprecated too.

Added the new `clip-shadow-above` configuration and wintype option.
These allow the user to select windows to clip from the shadow region of
other windows, i.e. don't paint shadows on top of them.
This should provide a more useful and userfriendly alternative to the
deprecated `shadow-exclude-reg` option — especially for docks and bars.
Per POSIX, "The c argument is an int, the value of which the application
shall ensure is a character representable as an unsigned char or equal
to the value of the macro EOF. If the argument has any other value, the
behavior is undefined."

**Work-in-Progress**
Add `dual_kawase` to configuration and argument parsing. Allow `kawase`
for backward compatibility. Add `--blur-strength` parameter for
blur-method `dual_kawase`.
Update documentation to reflect the new blur-method and parameters.
A quick search on GitHub showing the _COMPTON_SHADOW is actively being
used (most noteably, by polybar). It is not a difficult thing to support,
and it doesn't have that much runtime overhead. So remove the option
that guards this feature, make it enabled by default.
(Side note, I saw lots of people putting this option in their config
files, but this is actually a command line only option.)

Since user reports indicate it has real performance benefits.
Also add a command line flag for turning use-damage off.

Also fill the center of parsed kernel with 1. This shouldn't change the
behavior of the old backends since they will modify the center of the
kernels.

Instead of storing them as an array of xfixed.
Might cause some performance overhead for the new backend, because
it is allocating a buffer to do the conversion every frame. Will fix
later.

Previously we were using glibc's strtod function to parse floating point
numbers. The problem is, strtod is locale dependent. Meaning 7,7 might
be parsed as two numbers (7 and 7) in one locale, and parsed as one
number (7 point 7) in another locale. This is undesirable.
We need to set the locale to a value we know to make number parsing
consistently. We could use setlocale(), but that is not thread-safe. We
can also use uselocale(), which is thread-safe, but doesn't cover strtod
(Yeah, some of the locale-aware functions only acknowledge the global
locale, not the thread local one).
So in frustration, I just wrote a simple floating point number parser
myself. This parser obviously doesn't cover all cases strtod covers, but
is good enough for our needs.

Move filling winopts with default values to after command line options have
been parsed, not after parsing the config file. This is more intuitive.

* Pass a options_t, not session_t
* Slightly improve error handling when setting vsync method via dbus
The goal here is to limit the scope of what a given function can access.
And session_t contains basically everything, so don't pass it around.

Multipass blur is not properly implemented for xrender backend. There is
visible artifacts when it is used. And it is quite difficult to
implement correctly and efficiently for the xrender backend.
Print a warning message for multipass blur so we can survey whether it
is actually been used.
No functionality is removed in this commit.
