Previously when covering the sent window with an image slide selected and
exposing it again, the image was lost. This change always redraws the image and
also removes the now redundant bit flag in the state enum.
die() calls exit(), but actually at this point the program could be in a
state not allowing this. It's better to call _exit to stop the libc from
calling any handlers that might fail at this moment anyway.
Now, before you call your lawyers, here is some explanation:
The MIT/X Consortium-License and ISC-License are equivalent
according to the Berne-convention. This means that a court
of law presented with either licenses will act the same.
The advantage of the ISC license is that it has a simpler wording
and is recommended by the OpenBSD-project for new projects[0].
And as we at suckless.org love removing cruft, this also includes
removing legal cruft wording that is not needed any more.

This fixes a bug where the image would not be loaded if the user setup a
keybinding which advances multiple slides at once. Then the preloading for the
previous/next slide in advance() would not catch that case and instead of an
image the text version (`@filename`) would be rendered on the slide.

Ah yes, sorry for the oversight.

I have attached a patch that does this, I hope you'll like it.
Also I'm not sure if we need the below code in advance(), I have removed it in
the patch:
if (slidecount > idx + 1 && slides[idx + 1].img)
ffread(slides[idx + 1].img);
if (0 < idx && slides[idx - 1].img)
ffread(slides[idx - 1].img);
That seems to preload the next and previous slide image right? A minor issue I
notice also is that images seem to flicker, it uses XPutImage directly to
xw.win. Maybe it can be replaced with a backbuffer then XCopyArea? What do you
think?
In advance() it should also not always be needed to rescale the image.

Subject: [PATCH] merge ffread and ffopen into one function
previously an image file would be opened but only ffread when advancing to
the slide, but when the slide was not used it gave an error:
/usr/local/bin/2ff: failed to convert image/png
this changes it to load the image on-demand once and "cache" it.
The child thread was created because execlp will not return if successful.
The eprintf was placed after the call to execlp to catch any error, but the
child continued to return a (closed) fds[0], resulting in a second slideshow
being run by the child.
This commit fixes the issue by killing the child.
Sent now uses farbfeld[0] as an intermediate format. A series of
filters is specified in config.h that matches file extensions to
filter programs. The programs will convert between formats such as
png to farbfeld. Internally in sent we do not need to worry on how
to parse png or any other format.
This also works with jpg and gif and others. The 2ff wrapper will
use imagemagick conversion tools. This is temporary as jpg2ff and
gif2ff will also be implemented.
To make this work, you will have to clone[0] and put png2ff and 2ff
in your PATH.

In load() we allocated slides before checking if we actually read
anything from the FILE fp and then continue with an allocated but
“empty” space wich would lead to errors.
