Add PPM format support

[nnsee]

This is a PR to add Netbpm's PPM format to Pixie. See issue #359 for more information on the format.

List of things to do:

• [x] CLI front end support
• [x] PPM encoder
• [x] PPM decoder
  • [x] P3 (plain) format
  • [x] P6 format
• [x] Tests
• [x] Add to documentation

Looks pretty good, thank you for the PR. can't wait for it to be finished.

[nnsee]

Thanks.

This is the first time for me working on a "real" project in Nim, so any criticism is highly welcome.

Does PPM support alpha? I think when writing out you need a convert image to straight alpha first?

[nnsee]

Good point, PPM does not support transparency or the alpha channel. I incorrectly did .rgba(), but I've now removed that so transparency is blended with black instead.

Do you think its ready to go? Or are you still working on it?

[nnsee]

Functionality wise it's good to go, but I was wondering whether the code could be improved, but if you think it looks fine then it could be merged.

[nnsee]

Actually, scratch that, I've just found a bug in my implementation.

[nnsee]

Okay, I've fixed the bug and added a test case for it.

When running tests, all of the produced images should be identical. I usually check manually by running md5sum tests/fileformats/ppm/!(*.master.ppm) in bash (needs extglob set), but should I instead be assert-ing this in the test file itself?

[treeform]

I think you should assert. PPM has no compression so you can just have a master and check that the file bytes match. Then there is not need for manual check.
