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.
- Fix non-critical memory-leak in `picom.c` and `options.c` where we
don't free all allocated memory before dieing.
- Explicitly allocate new branch in `c2.c` to silence false-positive
memory-leak.
**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.
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.
Closes#265

Unsupported backends were rejected when we try to initialize them, now
we reject them in the option parsing phase.

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

When enabled, the result will be redirected to a window, and compton
won't take over the screen.
Makes debugging easier.
