Removes the Extension::glxAvailable() from kwinglobals and
implements the functionality in CompositingPrefs, where it
is only needed. There used to be one additional check in
scene_opengl_glx.cpp which is moved into composite.cpp
before the OpenGL Scene is created.

Also add a usable "doesn't work why" info and WARN! the user about clicking the rearm button.

This change also enables loose binding with the R600 drivers
when DRI2 is being used.

like it was before. This makes it possible to enable compositing again on my
R600 hardware and other hardware that is not explicitly known to work.
I also think that CompositingPrefs::enableCompositing() is a (really) bad name:
it's not about user preferences and it's not definitive. So what about
CompositingHardware::isKnownToWork()?.

Also slightly redo the #define's for effects, now it's:
- #ifdef KWIN_HAVE_COMPOSITING to check whether there's any compositing support at all
- #ifdef KWIN_HAVE_OPENGL_COMPOSITING to check for OpenGL-based compositing
- #ifdef KWIN_HAVE_XRENDER_COMPOSITING the same for XRender

means any GPL). Decoration clients will come later.

This is used to set sane defaults and work around possible driver bugs.
Also, if you have a "whitelisted" driver (nvidia >= 96.39 or intel >= 20061017)
then compositing will be enabled by default for you.
