Add support for the kitty graphics protocol

Kitty-capable terminals (kitty, ghostty, and others) can display
inline images via APC escape sequences.

Kitty's image support uses a passthrough model: APC sequences from
programs running inside panes are relayed verbatim to the outer
terminal with cursor positioning adjusted for the pane offset.

The outer terminal handles all image rendering and therefore itself must
be kitty-aware.
