Run multiple instances by attaching to original

Browse Source 
Fixes #1. When another instance is detected, a command is sent over the
socket for the original to write to stdout and to a temporary file, which is then
tailed by the new instance. Can be overridden with --replace.

@@ -55,6 +57,8 @@ Usage of waybar-mpris:
* `--separator` specifies a string to separate the artist, album and title text.
* `--autofocus` makes waybar-mpris automatically focus on currently playing music players.
* `--position` enables the display of the track position.
* `--interpolate` increments the track position every second. This is useful for players (e.g mpDris2) that don't regularly update the position.
* `--replace`: By default, new instances will attach to the existing one so that the output is identical. This lets this instance replace any others running. It isn't recommended.
* `--send` sends commands to an already running waybar-mpris instance via a unix socket. Commands:
* `player-next`: Switch to displaying and controlling next available player.
* `player-prev`: Same as `player-next`, but for the previous player.
