Sixel can only represent transparency for fully transparent (alpha
= 0) and fully opaque (alpha = 255) pixels, i.e. we would have to
do blending ourselves to do this "properly". But what do you even
blend? Background color? Images? Clearly you can't do text...
So instead of going down the blending route, we now just approximate
the 8-bit channel with Sixel's 1-bit channel and then patch it up with
dither. It does look a bit weird, but it's not *that* bad, especially
compared to the previous strategy of "blend with some color which
hopefully happens to be the background color" (it rarely was).
Note that this requires us to handle transparent images specially
in term. That is, for opaque ones, we can leave out the "clear cells
affected by image" part, but for transparent ones, we must clear the
entire image every time.

* refactor parseHeader
* optimize response blob()
* add direct "to cache" mode for loader requests which sets stdout to a
file, and use it for image processing
* move image resizing into a separate process
* mmap cache files in between processing steps when possible
At last, resize is no longer a part of image decoding. Also, it feels
much nicer to keep encoded image data in the same cache as everything
else.
The mmap operations *should* be more efficient than copying the whole
RGBA data through a pipe. In practice, it only makes a difference for
loading (well, now just mmapping) the encoded image into the pager,
where it singlehandedly speeds up image display by 10x on my test image.
For the other steps, the unfortunate fact that "tocache" must delay the
next fork/exec in the pipeline until the entire image is processed seems
to equal out any wins we might have gotten from skipping a single raw
RGBA copy.
I have tried moving the delay before the exec (it's possible with yet
another pipe), but it didn't help much and made the code much
uglier. (Not that tocache didn't, but I can live with this...)

just use an octree. works fine afaict, though obviously somewhat slower
than the static method (encoding is 2-pass now) & still has banding
issues with many colors (will need dithering)
also, fixed a bug that caused initial masks of bands to get misplaced

Somewhat rough, but better than nothing.
