Turn off desktop compositing in Windows ("Aero") for Radiant.

Otherwise, "hall of mirrors" effect takes place in the OpenGL viewports.
This fix is a real hack.  It's actually borrowed from other Radiants such
as NetRadiant.  I'd like to fix the underlying issue someday so that Aero
can be used with Radiant.
