Fullscreen and maximized windows never have visible shadows - the only
case where we would ever see them is if they bleed onto an adjacent
monitor and that looks bad.
It's small performance win to avoid computing them, and this also avoids
painting the top shadow for all maximized windows in GNOME Shell - since
the top panel isn't a X window, it doesn't factor into the computation
of what parts of windows are visible and maximized windows are computed
as having a top shadow.

Instead of making optimizing obscured shadows an all-or-none operation,
pass the clip region to meta_shadow_paint() and only paint the 9-slices
that are at least partially visible.

Instead of setting shadow parameters on individual windows, add the
idea of a "shadow class". Windows have default shadow classes based
on their frame and window type, which can be overriden by setting
the shadow-class property.
Each shadow class has separably configurable parameters for the
focused and unfocused state. New shadow classes can be defined with
arbitrary names.

The basic MetaShadowFactory type is moved to a public header, while
the functions to fetch and paint shadows are kept private.
The public object will be used for configuration of shadows by
plugins.

For attached modal dialogs, we want the shadow to fade out at the top
as if the window was glued to the parent at the top. Add a
shadow-top-fade property to MetaWindowActor and the corresponding
parameter to meta_shadow_factory_get_shadow().
The internal implementation of MetaShadow is adjusted to work
in terms of an "inner border" and "outer border" instead of doing
the calculations in terms of an aggregate border and the spread
of the shadow. The old way of doing things gets clumsy when the
top_fade distance is added in as well.

The current shadow code just uses a single fixed texture (the Gaussian
blur of a rectangle with a fixed blur radius) for drawing all window
shadows. This patch adds the ability
* Implement efficient blurring of arbitrary regions by approximating
a Gaussian blur with multiple box blurs.
* Detect when multiple windows can use the same shadow texture by
converting their shape into a size-invariant MetaWindowShape.
* Add properties shadow-radius, shadow-x-offset, shadow-y-offset,
shadow-opacity to allow the shadow for a window to be configured.
* Add meta_window_actor_paint() and draw the shadow directly
from there rather than using a child actor.
* Remove TidyTextureFrame, which is no longer used

While the Meego developers agreed to switching mutter to GTK+-3.0
unconditionally a while ago, Canonical used a GTK+-2.0 build for their
Unity project. As Canonical now announced a switch to compiz as their
window manager, there is no longer a reason to maintain GTK+-2.0
compatibility.

Move all objects and functions namespaced with Mutter into the Meta namespace
to get a single consistent namespace. Changes that aren't simply changing mutter
to meta:
MutterWindow => MetaWindowActor
mutter_get_windows => meta_get_window_actors
mutter_plugin_get_windows => meta_plugin_get_window_actors
