    Introduce a new compositor architecture · af9fbd17

    Having spent the last dev cycle looking at how we could specialize the
    compositors for various backends, we once again look for the
    commonalities in order to reduce the duplication. In part this is
    motivated by the idea that spans is a good interface for both the
    existent GL backend and pixman, and so they deserve a dedicated
    compositor. xcb/xlib target an identical rendering system and so they
    should be using the same compositor, and it should be possible to run
    that same compositor locally against pixman to generate reference tests.

    P.S. This brings massive upheaval (read breakage) I've tried delaying in
    order to fix as many things as possible but now this one patch does far,
    far, far too much. Apologies in advance for breaking your favourite
    backend, but trust me in that the end result will be much better. :)
