Feature request: add ueberzug/ueberzugpp image protocol support to have images in all terminals that support it

[shadow-absorber]

Using ueberzugpp we could have images in wayland and xorg/x11 for all terminals including things like alacritty and kitty( though this would not needed it as it has its own image protocol ).
Would mean there is less limits on what ways people can get images in their terminal when browsing the web using w3m.

thanks for your continued work on this project

To be frank, there is not that many people working on w3m right now. It's unlikely someone will pick up that feature request. The best way to get this forward is to start writing a patch. If you get stuck feel free to ask in #w3m on libera.chat.

There is nothing to lose, either you get your feature and learn something or you don't get your feature and learn something. ;-)
