Use libcaca

[holman]

So libcaca is a preferable ascii convertor to jp2a imo. I had spaceman-diff on it but ran into encoding problems, I think. On a Mac, half of the characters would blink, which I'm pretty sure is because whatever terminal I was using didn't have enough colors to support it and would fallback to blinking instead of coloring it correctly. You can disable this with "disable blink" in preferences in Terminal.app, but I don't want to make that a thing for everyone else.

It'd be nice to use libcaca because I think it'd also nuke our dependency on ImageMagick. There's only so many cpu cores that planet Earth can support compiling ImageMagick at once.

Very interesting. Both Picture-tube and libcaca.
Although libcaca should be lighter than having to install node also on top of all this, right?
