--start-at: Auto-load directory when no other files are specified
This changes the behaviour of "feh --start-at FILENAME" as follows: Previously, this would cause feh to load all files in the current working directory, since no files or filelists were specified on the command line. Now this is a special case: feh will extract the directory component from FILENAME, load all files in that directory, and display FILENAME. This way, it's possible to use "feh --start-at ~%f" in XDG Desktop files and browse files in feh using the prev/next keys Closes #372 Closes #420
