Add support for use with xargs

See original GitHub issue

Doing find … | imageoptim works as expected, but find … | xargs imageoptim does not (it quits and shows the help message). This matters because if we want to find … -print0 | xargs -0 imageoptim, we can’t.

Thanks @vitorgalvao, my inexperience with xargs is showing here. I’ll leave this open as it sounds like something that should be supported, so you can also run those images through imagealpha and JPEGmini.

Thanks for the link, that will be useful.
