JulianandClaude Opus 5 d685bf492a Shape the window when there is no compositor
On Xfce with compositing off, X11 has no alpha to blend against, so the
transparent background came out as a black box around the cat.

When a window comes up without an alpha channel, TNCat now cuts the window down
to the pixels the drawing covers, using the X11 shape extension, and refreshes
that 15 times a second so it follows the animation. A sitting cat in a 120 x 106
window comes out as 96 rectangles over 29 percent of the window, so most of the
box is gone. Edges are harder than with a compositor, one bit per pixel, and the
log says so and names the Xfce setting that gives smooth ones instead.

The image-to-rectangles step is platform independent and folds every device row
into its window row, which both halves the rectangle count on a scaled display
and keeps a pixel that is opaque in only one of them.

xcb and xcb-shape are picked up through pkg-config on Unix and the build still
works without them. Opaque mode now paints a neutral card rather than the coat
colour.
