commands: allow reading attachments from a file
Currently, aerc reads a list of files to be attached to a message from the file-picker-cmd's standard output. However, this doesn't play nice with ranger which seems to draw itself by writing there, causing it to be invisible in the embedded terminal. In fact, instead of using a pipe, aerc redirects the output of the command to a temporary file and then reads the list of files from there. Take advantage of this approach and allow user to directly reference this temporary file in the file-picker-cmd via the %f placeholder, which gets expanded to the temporary file's location. If the %f placeholder isn't present, keep the old behaviour. So for example, now it is possible to do: file-picker-cmd=ranger --choosefiles=%f in aerc.conf.
