Subject: [PATCH] fix: maximize the window when the image size matches the
 screen size (#179)

This is to avoid the window appearing maximized while not actually being maximized which leads to some frustration and confusion about window borders and breaking Fitts' law on the close button.

This is common for example when viewing screenshots of the same screen size.
