    Log Message:
    Add method: query_ctda() - Query CTerm Device Attributes

    Returns an array of attributes (digits), if valid response

    Now Nightfox, you can query SyncTERM (only) to see if it supports Pixel ops (e.g. Sixel) is supported at the moment, using:

    cterm_lib.query_ctda(cterm_lib.cterm_device_attributes.pixelops_supported)

    - will return true if pixel operations are supported

    Other dynamic terminal capabilities (e.g. depdendant on the output mode that SyncTERM is run in) can be detected with this method. But note: the values returned in SyncTERM's CTDA query-response do not exaclty match the values documented in cterm.txt. So use the constants from cterm_lib.js instead.

    Log Message:
    Call query_ctda() from supports_sixel() to confirm Sixel support

    Both the version and the output mode SyncTERM must be confirmed.

    A similar change should be made for supports_palettes() I think.
