Add cell size query, synchronized output, and dirvish integration

- Query terminal cell size via CSI 16t (XTWINOPS) instead of hardcoded
  8x16 fallback, giving accurate image aspect ratios
- Wrap all placement output in synchronized output (DEC mode 2026) to
  eliminate flicker during scroll and redisplay
- Add native dirvish preview dispatcher (kitty-image) that hooks into
  dirvish-preview-dispatchers for automatic image preview
- Improve shr/eww advice to detect actual image type from spec
- Extract kitty-gfx--refresh-overlay for cleaner refresh cycle
- Reset position cache on buffer/window change so images re-place after d=a
- Bump version to 0.2.0, update package metadata and README
