Avoid messing up with buffers

This is yet another attempt at fixing #66, using a different approach than #93
By using `display-buffer` the preview buffer should stay wherever the user put it last
without jumping around and without stealing focus from the source buffer.

As an additional bonus, a temporary buffer is used to enable some sort of double
buffering and avoid the flicker of seeing the preview buffer disappear
