RFC: invert effect for XRender resp. independent of the compositor

This is *theoretically* possible for xrender compositing just as for  
OpenGL w/o shaders (ie. not correctly preserving alpha) through  
PictOpDifference, BUT i've tried and it only works on the nvidia blob  
(intel just ignores the call) and is DOOOOOOOG SLOOOOOOW ;-)

For the entire screen it can however be done through  
XF86VidModeSetGammaRamp w/o any overhead.

This approach however actually doesn't require a compositor at all.

Since we're about to conditionally link xvidmode in 4.9 anyway, this is  
somehow about accessibility and there's talk to change the effect config  
UI, i wonder whether we should offer this as shortcut from the core (if  
xvidmode is present) and invert the screen regardless of the compositor  
(about 5-10 LOC)

Cheers,
Thomas
