Feature Request: Ability to use a source image to search for similar ones #435

First I would like to thank you for your hard work on this fantastic utility.

It seems like this could be pretty easy to implement and it would be extremely handy. Currently if you use 'czkawka_cli image -d /directory1 -d /directory2 it will go through the entire directories and find similar images. (doing so by hashes and algorithms I assume). It would be great if you could specify a source image if you have one image and you want to find any images within a particular directory that are similar. Perhaps something similar to...

czkawka_cli -S original_image.jpg -d /directory/to/scan/for/similar/images

I think it can go further. Using a source file to search other duplicate files.
