[openbox] Recently used files pipemenu

[D.T.]

I almost completely rewrote this.
If you care about icons in your openbox menu you should probably try it
;)

https://framagit.org/ohnonot/openbox-pipemenus/
https://notabug.org/ohnonot/openbox-pipemenus

The bash script

- sorts the list by access time and updates the entry in recently-
used.xbel when you open a file with it, i.e. next time you will see
that file at the top of the list.

- filters out files that do not exist (anymore) or are unreadable for
other reasons.

- offers to open the file in question with all the applications listed
in recently-used.xbel after checking they are present in PATH, and
additionally with a mime-opener like 'xdg-open'.

- assigns icons from the current icon theme and its Inherits, as close
as possible to how e.g. Thunar does it.

- caches icon paths and icons so that subsequent runs are much faster.

- uses an absolute minimum of external commands & dependencies.
