Feature request: read file from standard input.

Use case: be able to view an image without writing to disk as a file (useful for temporary screenshots).

Example:

# Snapshot with 'grim' utility which prints binary data to standard output pipes to qimgv which should be able to read from standard input to display the image without the image being written to disk first.
grim -t png -g "$geom" - | qimgv -
