Show images in terminal

[hackerb9]

Todo checklist says to show images in terminal. This is trivial if we use 'system()' and have ImageMagick installed. It should be possible to do in Python directly, but I do not know the ImageMagik API.

Note that you'll need to have a terminal that supports Sixel graphics for this to work. For example: mlterm, xterm -tn 340, iTerm.
