[st][patches][background_image] Fix 0.9.3 X client and 0.8.x leaks
- 0.9.3: publish the new pixmap before killing the previous owner; only
one retained client/pixmap remains, so repeated updates no longer clog
the X connection or exhaust client slots.
- 0.8.4/0.8.5: free the previous GC and pixmap on reload; failed loads
keep the current background, and loader error paths no longer leak.
- USR1 reload: use sigaction() and a self-pipe, reloading from the main
loop instead of calling Xlib in the signal handler. Applies to 0.8.4
and 0.8.5.

+A new image is decoded and published before the previous owner is

+Only the current pixmap is kept alive; replacing the background kills
+the client that owns the previous one, so periodic updates do not

Subject: [PATCH] Reload background image on USR1 signal.
+Queue reload requests from the signal handler and service them from the
+main loop. Xlib is not async-signal-safe, so calling it directly from the
+handler can crash st or leak X resources when signals arrive while st is
+drawing.
