We can't easily use a metacity layer to hide windows as that means we
loose our original stacking position. (Metacity's stack positions are
only valid within a single layer) We now have a "guard window" per
screen that is a fullscreen override redirect that is lowered to the
bottom of the stack. Hidden windows now remain in their original layer
so the stacking position remains valid, but all hidden windows get
XRestacked under the guard window.
A new compositor hook is also added to inform it when a window becomes
hidden/unhidded, this lets us map/unmap the corresponding actor.
missing files in preview commit (TODO: rebase -i and squash this later)
ClutterActors for hidden windows (such windows on different than active
workspaces and windows that are minimized) are available, and reflect the
actual state of the window. This is intended for use in task-switchers etc.
This feature is disabled by default (due to increased demand on resources),
and can be enabled through the metacity/general/live_hidden_windows gconf key.
A trivial sample window switcher is included in the scratch plugin (activated
by clicking on the slide out panel).

All information should live in exactly one place. This means
that the list of atoms should not be replicated anywhere.
Therefore, we include it via x-macros. Closes#530843.
* src/core/atomnames.h: added list of atom names
* src/Makefile.am: added reference to new file
* src/core/display.h
* src/core/display.c (twice)
* src/core/screen.c: #included atomnames.h instead of having
an enormous list of atoms
* src/core/group-props.c
* src/core/window.c
* src/core/compositor.c
* src/core/window-props.c

* src/core/workspace.c
* src/core/stack.c
* src/core/keybindings.c
* src/core/iconcache.c
* src/core/group.c
* src/core/xprops.c: changed to new, simpler identifiers
for atoms

* src/ui, src/core, src/include: sort source files into these
directories according to which part of the WM they are supposed to
be in. In an eventual plan, we should also create
src/compositor/render, src/compositor/fallback and move some of
the compositor stuff into that.
* autogen.sh: require a newer automake, so we don't have to use
a recursive build
* src/ui/tabpopup.c: put in a hack to make the build temporarily
work, want to commit the large rearrangement before fixing this
not to include workspace.h or frame.h
* src/core/iconcache.c (meta_read_icons): temporarily break this
to get the build to work, want to commit the large rearrangement
before fixing this file not to include theme.h
