While those commits themselves could be useful even if they don't
completely fix#299, they come with the risks of introduce more
unforeseen bugs, which outweigh their benefit, so revert them.
A brief explanation of their problem:
The fix hinges on the destroy event of the client window to work.
However, the client window could be destroyed so fast, before we even
handle the map, or even the create, event of the frame. And we won't be
listening for substructure events on the frame at the point the client
window is destroyed. Thus completely miss the client window destroy
event.
Because of the inherent racy nature of Xorg, this approach is really
difficult to make work.

So we can pick up destroy notify of the client windows. Because we need
the destroy notify of the client window to trigger a client window
recheck on the frame window. This is to handle the case where a frame
window is later reused, and the case where multiple client windows are
momentarily attached to the same frame[1].
This will also cause events previously unseen to be generated. Most of
the events would be ignored, because they don't have a corresponding
managed window. Change has been made to ev_reparent_notify, so it would
handle the case where a client window is reparented from one frame to
another[2]. Previously such events are not received by picom.

Previously, root ConfigureNotify is handled immediately, by resetting
the backend, which in turn releases all the window images. This puts all
the windows into a state where they don't have images attached, which
they really should be in when the screen is redirected.
(To expand a little, a window without images should only exist if:
* It's an unmanaged window.
* Screen is unredirected.)
Normally, this kind of window could be fine, as the next render phase
will re-acquire images for them. However, if a window in this state is
destroyed with fading enabled, then the render phase won't try to
acquire images for it, causing it to go into the main rendering function
without images attached, and trigger an assertion.
This commit delays the handling of root ConfigureNotify until the render
phase. This way, the images will be immediately re-acquired after they
are released, thus prevent this problem from happening.
Also adds a testcase for this.

x_print_error aborts the program when it sees a redirect_subwindow
failure. A function called x_print_error really shouldn't cause the
program to terminate.

In configure_root, the root pixmap is freed by destroy_backend, and is
never acquired again.
Usually this doesn't seem to cause any problems, maybe because we
immediately receives a root damage notification. But under rare
circumstances we ended up not showing the wallpaper.

Don't set win::flags to 0 in paint_preprocess, as that can break
assertions in other places. And there is also no need to do so as
win::flags are properly tracked regardless of the backend used.

Currently picom fails at register_cm(), which is before
print_diagnostics(), so we don't see anything.
This commit makes sure we keep going when there is another compositor
already running. However, in this case we need to be careful to not take
the overlay window, otherwise a poorly implemented compositor (for
example, picom) will stop working.
Also restructured the target window initialization logic and added some
comments explaining the logic.
Fixes#333
"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.

Unredirect the screen when some window sets _NET_WM_BYPASS_COMPOSITOR
to 1, but ignore the case where some window requests the screen to be
redirected by setting _NET_WM_BYPASS_COMPOSITOR to 2.

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.

deinit then init the logging system after resets, because otherwise
duplicated log handlers will be added by session_init, and we will
see duplicated logs.
Doing this also enables us to add log handlers for early logging.

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.
