picture_viewer.py can now be run stand-alone

[Edward K. Ream]

See PR #2292.

You can now invoke the plugin outside of Leo this way:

python -m leo.plugins.picture_viewer

At present the code isn't flexible.  The main function calls:

Slides().run(
    c=None,
    delay=1000,
    full_screen=True,
    reset_zoom=True,
    sort_kind='random',
    verbose=False,
)

This is good enough for me, but it would be better to use Python's argparse module to set the various kwargs from the command-line.  All contributions gratefully accepted :-)

Nice!  There is a problem in closing the window.  The console (at least in Windows) will hang if the slide show is ended with 'q', or if you cancel out of the directory select dialog.  It will complete without hanging if you click the close box of the slide show frame.

Well, I didn't use argparse so it's not as robust as it could be (but it's really simple), but my recent PR provides command line arguments.

Thankyou!  I have merged it into devel.

I was aware of this problem. I'll fix it today.
