Add support for libsixel

[libsixel](https://github.com/saitoha/libsixel) is an ANSI-compatible library for SIXEL/DEC graphics painting in a terminal. This allows for richer interface design and better integration between the text-based and graphical environments. There is at least one person who has already started work on [wrapping libsixel](https://github.com/AdnoC/sixel-rs) for use in Rust, though a different wrapper may be preferrable. ``xterm`` whose terminfo alacritty defaults to already supports libsixel (through a compile-time option).
