Subject: [PATCH] background: Call malloc_trim() after loading background image

Some of the new JXL backgrounds from gnome-backgrounds can allocate
several hundred MB during loading, so let's call malloc_trim() after we
are done with loading the image into a pixbuf.

Closes: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/3327
