The terminal can now render images when using either sixel or iterm's image protocol.

• Set "terminal.integrated.experimentalImageSupport": true
• Sixel
  • Download .six file(s) from https://github.com/saitoha/libsixel/tree/master/images
  • Run cat <file>.six, verify an image shows up
• iterm's image protocol
  • Install imgcat off pypi https://pypi.org/project/imgcat/ (https://iterm2.com/utilities/imgcat is also available, I haven't tried it though)
  • Get a png, gif and jpg file
  • Run imgcat <file>, verify an image shows up
• Try resizing, selecting, etc. in the terminal

Current limitations:

• The image does not restore after VS Code reloads
