Feature: add app extension so Textinator can be used on existing images #5

An app extension would allow Textinator to be used on existing images using the right-click context menu. Alternatively, Textinator could register a Service for use from Services menu.

A service might be the easiest.

        "NSServices": [
            {
                "NSMenuItem": {"default": "Detect text with Textinator"},
                "NSMessage": "detect_text",
                "NSRequiredContext": {"NSTextContent": "FilePath"},
                "NSSendFileTypes": ["public.image"],
            },
        ],

I've implemented this as a Services menu so you can right click on one or more images in Finder and select "Services > Detect text with Textinator". Will release once I finish testing.

This is working well but notifications do not get triggered when the service provider class runs. I'll need to look into this some more but it may be an issue with RUMPS.
