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.
When matching against custom window properties or atoms perform the
matching against all available values using logical OR if the special index
`[*]` is specified. If no index is specified, we fall-back to the first
value.
This should help when an atom has multiple values and you only want to
check against any of these — e.g. hiding windows with state `hidden`:
`--opacity-rule "0:_NET_WM_STATE@[*]:32a *= 'HIDDEN'"` — without having to
explicitly specify each index separately or when the index is not known
in advance.
Updated the manpage with examples for hidden and sticky windows.
**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.
"notify" is the only wintype that has a name inconsistent with its Xorg
name. So fix that.
Compatibility code is added as well, so the old "notify" wintype name
still works.

Transparent windows usually blends on top of other windows, this commit
adds an option to make transparent windows clip other windows like
non-transparent windows do.

leftovers:
1) config file path. Has to implement compatibility functionalities before
we can change it.
2) links in man pages. Has to migrate the repo first.
3) _COMPTON_SHADOW, it has become a defacto standard, so we have to keep
supporting it.
4) dbus names, undecided whether we should/could change it.

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.
Fixes#242
Signed-off-by: Yuxuan Shui <yshuiv7@gmail.com>
Setting glx-swap-method to value other than "undefined" and "buffer-age"
could potentially cause rendering problems. So remove them, the meaning
of the remaining options can be more precisely captured by "use-damage",
so create a new option under that name.
--glx-swap-method is deprecated in favor of the new option --use-damage.

Choose the best vsync method for the user, instead of asking them to
frustratingly try every one of the options to see what works.
With this commit, the `vsync` option will take only a boolean value.

Now both the old and the new backends are compiled in, the user can
choose which one to use with a command line switch.
Lower the barrier for testing.

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.
