Feature: Little GUI to select save location and name and xochitl restart #20

Hi, would you be interested in a little GUI which pops up instead of saving the PDF directly and restart xochitl? This GUI could ask for the location where to save, the file name, potentially for a few other details and finally give the user the choice to restart xochitl. One key-feature could be to make choices and select them as "Set as standard for this session". Which, as long as the GUI is active, those settings would be applied for all incoming jobs till the user closes the GUI. That would allow people to go for a designated folder, a naming scheme, some other settings as standard, no restart of xochitl in between and send one file after another... as soon as it is done, they select close and restart xochitl call it done.

Is there a Go library for drawing to the framebuffer yet? How much extra weight do you think this will add to the printer binary?

Also, we'd need to pause xochitl while the GUI is on the screen. Can this be accomplished with SIGSTOP/SIGCONT?
