Michael Grant 18c48cf34a sixel: coalesce vertically adjacent rows into one SIXEL write
The redraw loop hands images to the sixel backend one grid line at a
time, so a placement N rows tall arrives as N separate one-row
rectangles - each a full scale/encode pass and its own DCS sequence
carrying its own copy of the palette. Hold a run of vertically
adjacent rows back in struct sixel_output and write it as a single
SIXEL once the run ends (image_draw_flush, called from the redraw
loop after each pane/line pass).

Also make image_tty_update() report whether the backend actually
changed, and skip the client redraw in tty_update_features() when it
didn't. That function runs on every DA/secondary DA/extended DA
answer, most of which just confirm what's already known; the redraw
it triggers repaints from tmux's grid and discards anything a pane
wrote via DCS passthrough that tmux doesn't model - visibly flashing
images away right after they're drawn.

Ported from paranoidi's fork (commit 98cc26d) onto the damage-rectangle
based redraw introduced on this branch; the three image_draw_flush()
call sites are placed at the equivalent point in redraw_draw_pane_lines(),
redraw_draw_lines(), and redraw_draw_damage_rect(). Verified against
tmux/tmux#5445.

Welcome to tmux!

tmux is a terminal multiplexer: it enables a number of terminals to be created,
accessed, and controlled from a single screen. tmux may be detached from a
screen and continue running in the background, then later reattached.

This release runs on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux, macOS and Solaris.

* Dependencies

tmux depends on libevent 2.x, available from:

	https://github.com/libevent/libevent/releases/latest

It also depends on ncurses, available from:

	https://invisible-mirror.net/archives/ncurses/

To build tmux, a C compiler (for example gcc or clang), make, pkg-config and a
suitable yacc (yacc or bison) are needed.

* Installation

To build and install tmux from a release tarball, use:

	$ ./configure && make
	$ sudo make install

tmux can use the utempter library to update utmp(5), if it is installed - run
configure with --enable-utempter to enable this.

To get and build the latest from version control - note that this requires
autoconf, automake and pkg-config:

	$ git clone https://github.com/tmux/tmux.git
	$ cd tmux
	$ sh autogen.sh
	$ ./configure && make
	$ sudo make install

* Contributing

Bug reports, feature suggestions and especially code contributions are most
welcome. Please send by email to:

	tmux-users@googlegroups.com

Or open a GitHub issue or pull request.

* Documentation

For documentation on using tmux, see the tmux.1 manpage. View it from the
source tree with:

	$ nroff -mdoc tmux.1|less

A small example configuration is in example_tmux.conf.

Other documentation is available in the wiki:

	https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki

Also see the tmux FAQ at:

	https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki/FAQ

A bash(1) completion file is at:

	https://github.com/scop/bash-completion/blob/main/completions/tmux

For debugging, run tmux with -v and -vv to generate server and client log files
in the current directory.
