Feature #69: Blur window background

- Add window background blur support (--blur-background &
  --blur-background-frame), with X Render convolution filter.
  The performance sucks. The performance when the window is opaque but
  frame is transparent could be improved, but there are two possible
  ways and I'm hesitating.

- Known issue: The blurring effect looks very ungraceful during fading.
  I could partially fix the problem, but it probably isn't easy to fix
  it completely.
