Implement features requested in Issue #2

[philippremy]

As requested in #2, WavyBackgrounds should be enhanced with new features. This draft pull request keeps track of the current progress:

• ‘Start at login’ option
• Remove a downloaded background from your local disk (so the wallpapers don’t clutter space)
• Auto update option when there is a new version on Github
• The option to remove the app-icon from the MacOS Dock, but a active icon (as is also now) in the upper Icons bar
• A ‘Pauze/Play’ button to stop the Wallpaper from moving (e.g. when you want to reduce energy)
• Play the dynamic wallpaper continuously, basically a loop (it just stops now after the ‘video’ is done while the (my) intention is that it plays continuously)
• Perhaps a timer on how long to play the video for customization purposes
• Play video’s continuously, with a Shuffle feature.

To test out the new and yet to be merged features, clone the dev branch.

I see there is some progress, awesome 👍 Can you make a (beta) build; I can't seem to make a build on my own according the instruction you mentioned earlier, and I surely want to test the changes you made.

Sure, I'd love to! But keep in mind that this is all very much in beta right now and I currently question my approach to certain topics. This is all very much based around Apple's AppKit, Core Graphics and Core Foundation frameworks. As the code grows I do realize that I have to write more and more code in Objective-C (and C, because there will be a need for Apple's Private APIs). The interoperability with Rust directly is - let's put it very plainly - half-baked at best. Even more so, it discards Rusts memory safety guarantees and I do see some SIGSEGVs happen.
I do consider to refactor once again and get rid of all "Objective-C-within-Rust" to build one static library in Objective-C directly, which should make maintenance easier and the program more safe in general, because I could build proper wrapper functions with better error handling (no need to pass pointers through Objective-Cs ARC and Rusts Borrow Checker 🎉).
I will look into that soon (I promise!), but until then, I'll temporarily pause the implementation of the new features.

Hey, me again :-) It's been a while ago, so I thought let's get in touch again. Would love to hear if you still have plans to work on the mentioned adjustments. Just wondering because it can be an awesome app IMO.
