Eat 0.9 terminal supports Sixel

[sfllaw]

The Eat terminal supports sixels: https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/172vgex/eat_09_released/

It looks like the proper way to detect it is to look for the EAT_SHELL_INTEGRATION_DIR environment variable: https://codeberg.org/akib/emacs-eat/src/commit/3a6f418f55d183b9d86f99c140caed4ba3d44f93/eat.el#L6993-L6994

The other alternative is to look for TERM that starts with eat-: https://codeberg.org/akib/emacs-eat/src/commit/3a6f418f55d183b9d86f99c140caed4ba3d44f93/eat.el#L4800-L4812

If you like, I can prepare a patch. It looks like it would go into detect_capabilities?

Yes, I'd be happy to take a PR! It's sufficient to check TERM (the same way as foot-), but if you also check EAT_SHELL_INTEGRATION_DIR, it may work better inside tmux/screen too.

@hpjansson I have implemented this in #198, which is ready for review.

Eat looks interesting, I'll have to try it out. With a good terminal inside Emacs, my world would be complete.
