--filelist: Support reading from /dev/stdin ("-" as shortcut)

Note that read_filelist used to check if its argument was an image (for people
accidentaly typing "feh -df *" instead of "feh -dF *"); this was removed
because it failed on /dev/stdin.

I might re-add it, but I'm not yet sure about the future of feh's automatic
filelist saving.
