[BlurCinnamon@klangman] Version 1.1.0 Unique panel effects / fixes (#813)

- Add the ability to apply different effects for every panel (or disable effects for some panels) based on the panel location and the monitor it is on
- Fix the blur overlay animation for showing/hiding a panel when the panel is not set to "Always show panel"
- Simplify the settings: always show the dimming color but default to black giving a traditional dimming effect
- Add an option to prevent the extension from modifying the panel setting, so it it will only add a blur effect under the panel. This is useful when using a theme that is already transparent and you want the themes settings to remain

 1. Gaussian blur algorithm (borrowed from the Gnome extension Blur-my-Shell) with a user configurable intensity
 2. Dimming overlay with user configurable color and intensity (0-100%, transparent to a solid color)
 3. Simple blur algorithm (the Cinnamon built-in algorithm) which I would only recommend for very old computers

+4. Makes the Panels and the Expo transparent so that the desktop background image blur effects are visible
 5. Applies blurring, colorization and dimming effects to all Panels, the Overview and the Expo
 6. You can use general settings for Panels/Overview/Expo or use unique settings for each Cinnamon component
+7. Allows unique settings for each panel based on it's location and the monitor is is on
