Support the `ppm` image format #78

Grim supports outputting images in the ppm image format which is much faster since it does not compress the data. It would be nice for Satty to support ppm as input since it would make the screenshot-taking process a bit faster

nice observation! I realised the long loading times and suspected that it's png - but I didn't confirm that...

Mind contributing such a functionality?

I think libvips might be a good option for iamge loading: https://github.com/olxgroup-oss/libvips-rust-bindings

A few days ago I was attempting to make an AGS lockscreen with a screenshot as a background which is when I found https://github.com/emersion/grim/issues/47

Mind contributing such a functionality?

I am busy for the next month or so (due to graduation exams etc.) but I might look into it then if no one beats me to it. I don't know much about working with images though I assume most of the heavy lifting can be done using a library...
