There is actually no specification what symbols are exported from a
libGL implementation. The (extremely outdated) OpenGL ABI specification
says only GL 1.2 functions are guaranteed. Don't know how relevant that
is now, but different libGL implementations do export different set of
symbols. On Linux we are most likely to be linked with libglvnd, which
has everything we need. But on other platforms this is not necessarily
the case, for example on OpenBSD we are missing glGetQueryObjectui64v.
Use libepoxy so we can outsource this problem and never worry about it
ever again. Plus it also saves us from calling GetProcAddress ourselves.
Changes other than trivial build fixes I have to make:
1. Can't use eglCreatePlatformWindowSurface/eglGetPlatformDisplay.
libepoxy checks for EGL 1.5 when resolving these functions. But
without a current context, libepoxy assumes we only have EGL 1.4.
This creates a chicken and egg problem - we need a display to call
eglGetPlatformDisplay. We have to use the *EXT version instead.

Part of the long running effort to reduce the prevalence of `session_t`.
After this, functions that communicate with X can make use of the error
handling machinary (set_ignore_cookie, set_cant_fail_cookie) without
needing to take a `session_t` parameter.
This commit converts everything to use the new struct `x_connection`,
most of the conversions are mechanical.

Use frame timing and render time statistic to pace frames.
Right now the criteria are simple:
* Don't render multiple frames in one vblank cycle. Otherwise the
rendered frame will be delay multiple cycles, which isn't ideal.
* Start rendering as late as possible while still hitting vblank.
Refresh rate is estimated from a rolling average of frame timing. Render
time is predicted from the rolling maximum of past 128 frames. The
window size still needs to be investigated.
Remove glFinish calls and GL_MaxFramesAllowed=1, frame pacing superseeds
them.
Professionals might laugh at how rudimentary this is, but hopefully this
is better than what we had before. Which is absolutely nothing at all.

This is used to create image masks that can be used to mask out
`compose` regions. For example, this can be used to mask out window body
so shadow won't be painted on them.
This could be more efficient than using rectangular regions for masking,
when there are a large number of rectangles; or more flexible, in the
case of window with rounded corners.

This is meant to be used to detect GPU resets.
Implemented in the glx backend using the GL_ARB_robustness extension.

Currently there is some inconsistency in how image_op is implemented
across backends. The glx backend applies some of the image operations
lazily, and not always in the order the operations were made; while the
xrender backend applies the operations eagerly. This can lead to
different render result in some cases.
Instead of trying to preserving the order of operations, which would be
unnecessary, we re-model the API to better reflect the implementation.
We make it clear that setting the property doesn't change the image
data, and properties are only applied during composition and in a
specific order.
This makes sure the render result looks consistent across backends.
Should also improve the performance of the xrender backend, even if only
slightly.
Also distill out the property management code so they can be shared.

We use the __GL_YIELD=usleep workaround when we detect the NVIDIA
driver, so we could use glFinish without the NVIDIA driver taking all
the CPU.

GLX context is released when it's no longer current in any threads, so
we have to release the context before destroy it.

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.

Instead of rendering into the back buffer, render into a intermediate
texture.
This is a preparation for partial screen updating, which is necessary to
eliminate artifacts visible when using blur and use-damage together.

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

To prepare for different blur methods, the blur interface of backends
has been splitted into two parts.
Now to use blur, a blur context must be created first; then, the blur
method should be called with the blur context created.
Updated the existing backends to the new interface. Also implemented
handling of the new blur options.

Use a flag to mark whether the image needs update, and only update once
per frame.
Also refactor some common code into functions, and handle image errors
properly.

Rectangle textures was used as a fallback when the driver doesn't
support non-power-of-two (NPOT) textures. Since we are using OpenGL 3.0 now,
which includes support for NPOT textures, we don't need this fallback
anymore.
