attach: open file picker menu with -m flag
Open a user-defined file picker with the -m flag for the attach command to select attachments. Specify your file picker of choice with the 'file-picker-cmd' in the [composer] section of aerc.conf, e.g. "file-picker-cmd=fzf -m". A '%s' placeholder can be used in the 'file-picker-cmd' which is then substituted for the argument <arg> provided to :attach -m <arg>. For example, when you set 'file-picker-cmd=find %s -type f | fzf -m', you can easily change the directory to start the search with ':attach -m <path-to-search>'. Tested with fzf, fzy and peco.
