Alpha channel in sixel mode and block mode
Both sixel and block mode do not support transparency, which was not accounted for before. The alpha channel is now replaced by a solid background when these modes are active.

Sixel compatibility
Image data emitted in sixel mode is now compatible with a much wider variety of terminal emulators, at the expense of lower image quality. Terminal capability checks have been extended to include more terminals with sixel support.
