First of all, thanks for the quick fixes.  I've pushed a pu/ branch to
my GitLab clone.  I also added some minor fixups to the documentation.

With respect to the jpeg vs jpg issue, in the end I thought it better to
align the behaviour with the current TIFF implementation.  The --format
option now takes jpeg and the file extension for batch scan is jpg.

We can think about allowing common file extension as alternatives for
the file format option later.

@devs!
Users will probably welcome support for these image file formats.  No
more "clumsy" piping PNM into one of the netpbm utilities anymore!

Please consider merging the pu/scanimage-png-jpeg-v4 branch from my
GitLab clone[1] to Alioth's master.

Hope this helps,
