Improvement: Stop painting on regions of higher windows

Sort of reverts cdf7db750d, but implements in a different way. (Well,
maybe the pre-cdf7db750d way is actually better, if I'm willing to
sacrifice some precious code reusability.) Basically, trading CPU for
GPU, in an attempt to solve farseerfc and ichi-no-eda's problems. Highly
experimental, could be revoked at any moment.
