Sixel support

It is almost ready to be full-on conky support, but one crutial pice is missing - graphs.
And this "renderer" being so rightfully unixway I don't see a justification to implement something like custom protocol, no, but I also see that there is no way to render output of programs that already can draw them.
Therefore I ask for sixel suppopt, that would make it a lot easier.
And you can also render regular images with it.
Let me be honest: I've never used Conky, as it's useless on tiling WMs (always covered with windows). I've never expected the wrapper to be a Conky replacement. I'm not sure if sixel support is even possible inside a GTK window.
is even possible inside a GTK window.
I think I've seen solutions using terminal widget or something like that

Same) But users see it as Conky replacement, and I can't really think of another way to make it somewhat useful on tiling WM (aka how do you see it being used with only text?)
I can completely see this being useful, piping conky into this wrapper using lgi is a game changer, and yes on a tiling wm, because you can always slide over to an empty workspace and have your system monitor displayed, or, as I favor, use a transparent background for the terminal emulator so that you can see the conky! Interest piqued!
I haven't archived this repo yet, to allow contributions. I just don't work on it myself any longer.
