HackerFX v2

If you've seen HackerFX, this is a rewrite in python with a bunch of new features:

• Support for multicoloured images
• Square output characters (no more resizing images before passing them in)
• Hex character support
• Serialize a file and write the bitstream to the image
• Support for videos(requires ffmpeg and ffprobe)
