When fbsetbg is used with `-a` switch and uses feh to set the background it uses `--bg-fill` switch which is inconsistent with other setters (like esetroot) and usually is not what users expect. `--bg-max` switch should be used instead.

    The switch used now `--bg-fill` fills the whole screen and crops the image if it doesn't match the screen height/width ratio. `--bg-max` will resize the image to fit the screen and add black bars on the sides if there is some space left - it works like Esetroot `-fit`. `--bg-fill` introduced in this commit is still better than `--bg-scale`, but the result is different than in other background setters.

    "Eye of the beholder" - unless we're going to introduce "-s[cale and crop]" (which I could additionally provide for display, but not the other gazillion setters I don't have or know), I'd consider "--bg-fill" the more usable feature and rather aim to adjust esetroot. shrug
