Image previews

The `sixel` flag enables sixel support in `ratatu-image`, which then
needs libsixel to build.

Additionally to enable the preview feature, one must add it to
config.json:
```json
    "image_preview": {
      "size": {
        "width": 60,
        "height": 10,
      }
    }
```

There is a `backend: "halfblocks"` option in `image_preview` to force a
specific backend rather than guessing it, which might not be 100%
reliable in all terminals.
