Dermot Duffy e2cceb55c8 feat: Updated screensaver image mode fetches random images (#2430)
BREAKING CHANGE: The `screensaver` image mode now shows a random image
from [picsum.photos](picsum.photos) instead of the embedded default
image. If you previously set `image.mode: screensaver`, change it to
`image.mode: default` to restore the previous behavior.
