Add option to avoid creating .fehbg file

Hi!

This is a feature request.

I am using pywal on my pc, and I noticed a file called at ${HOME}/.fehbg is being created and modified every time I switch my background.

As I found out, this happens because pywal is using feh to replace the wallpaper. Feh in turn, creates this .fehbg script "... to have your background restored every time you start X..." by including this script in another startup script. I do not use this feature of feh, and find this file rather annoying and would like for it to cease to exists ( on my setup ;) ) Luckily for me, there's a feh flag to avoid creating this script, --no-fehbg.

I would like to be able to pass this flag somehow (Currently I have patched wallpaper.py by myself) Does this seem dooable? Or should I keep patching it myself?
