Allow `images` formats

Necessary for #343.

* They are identified by `vcodec=acodec='none'`
* These formats show as the worst in `-F`
* Any postprocessor that expects audio/video will be skipped
* `b*` and all related selectors will skip such formats
* This commit also does not add any selector for downloading such formats. They have to be explicitly requested by the `format_id`. Implementation of a selector is left for when #389 is resolved
