effects/desktopgrid: Clip windows differently

Vlad Zahorodnii requested to merge work/desktop-grid-no-quads into master

Similar to the slide effect, the desktop grid can use the clip region to clip windows when needed. This will improve performance because the desktop grid effect will do less work. Currently, it clips quads on its own in prePaintWindow, copies them over in a temporary list, and lets the opengl scene clip the window quads again.

We can clip windows differently by just passing a custom region to the paintWindow() function down the effects chain, which the desktop grid effect already does.

The old behavior and the old bugs are preserved. The Xrender code path is unaffected.
