randr: use root window in case of no randr outputs

Browse Source 
This patch introduces a root output covering the root window. It is used
in two cases:

1. RandR is not available. In this case, the previous behaviour of
   creating a single output covering the root window is preserved.

2. RandR is available, but there is no active output. In this case,
   the root output is enabled and will be the only active output.
   If any RandR output becomes available, the root output will be
   disabled again. Existing mechanisms for migrating workspaces will
   just work without modification.

I've carefully slipped in a global variable `Output root_output` representing
that output.

Fixes #926 and #1489
