Ingo Bürk 02468296c4 Introduce switch for the drawing backend
This commit restores the old XCB drawing code paths while keeping the
cairo drawing available via a compile-time switch (I3BAR_CAIRO). This
is necessary as cairo currently has a bug that breaks i3bar for users
without the RENDER extension, which might be the case, e.g., for VNC
users.

For more context, see #1989 and the discussions about its fix. Once the
cairo fix is available in a stable release, i3 can depend on that version
and remove the XCB drawing code paths.

Introduction
============

libi3 is an *INTERNAL* library which contains functions that i3 and related
tools (i3-msg, i3-input, i3-nagbar, i3-config-wizard, i3bar) use.

It is NOT to be used by other programs.

Structure
=========

Every function gets its own .c file, which in turn gets compiled into an .o
object file. Afterwards, all .o files are archived into one static library
(libi3.a). This library will be linked into all i3 binaries. The linker is able
to eliminate unused .o files when linking, so only the functions which you
actually use will be included in the corresponding binary.
