sixel has way better image display quality in the terminal so we should consider adopting this.

It is a C library so we need to first build the libsixel_jll with BinaryBuilder, and then wrap it with perhaps Sixel.jl, and use the wrapping package in ImageInTerminal.

https://github.com/m-j-w/TerminalGraphics.jl is a very early project to do this before the "modern" BinaryBuilder.

@oxinabox FYI, with this done (JuliaIO/Sixel.jl#1), ReferenceTests will then include libsixel_jll for Julia >= v1.6 in exchange for the much better terminal image comparison.
