Azote wallpaper manager

Since my life with i3 seemed too comfortable, I gave a try to Sway, and felt in love with it. One of things I missed was a desktop background browser and setter, as the most commonly used one is aimed at X windows. I decided to give a GUI to the swaybg command. For the app to work on X11 as well, I used feh as its alternative backend. So, Azote is a GTK+ 3-based picture browser and a wallpaper setter, as the frontend to the swaybg (Sway/Wayland) and feh (X windows) commands. For now tested with Sway, i3 and Openbox, but should work with other WMs, too.
