Use 32-bit visual by default if available.

With this patch, we use 32-bit visuals per default whenever it is
available. Otherwise, we fall back to the actual root window's
depth, which will typically be 24-bit.

Before this patch, we already used 32-bit depth for containers with
a window that uses 32-bit. However, this means that we didn't use
32-bit for split parent containers on which decoration is drawn.
For 32-bit windows using transparency, this caused a graphical glitch
because the decoration pixmap behind it would show through. This
behavior is fixed with this change.
