Problem:  On the MS-Windows console a popup image is displayed as the raw
          sixel escape sequence instead of the image, unless
          'termguicolors' is set.
Solution: Write a DCS sequence with the console API that lets the console
          parse it, no matter which write path the current colors select.
          Keep track of the terminator across writes, since a long
          sequence is split up.

fixes: #20795
