Allow multiple wobs to be run together #11

If it was possible to have multiple wob bars and have each one appear differently this application would be a lot more useful.

The use case I am thinking of is when you change brightness it is a sun icon with the overlay and similarly, when you change the volume it is a speaker icon.

I know this probably ties into https://github.com/francma/wob/issues/7 but it is slightly different.

Happy to work on this myself if someone had any ideas about how it could be done.

You can run multiple wob instances with different colors or set color at runtime by sending 20 #color1 #color2 #color3 to STDIN instead of just 20.

I'm not planning on adding text or icons.
