Chafa is a command-line utility that converts image data, including
animated GIFs, into graphics formats or ANSI/Unicode character art
suitable for display in a terminal. It has broad feature support,
allowing it to be used on devices ranging from historical
teleprinters to modern terminal emulators and everything in between.

Log message:
chafa: update to 1.18.0

Added:
- New options: `--files=FNAME` and `--files0=FNAME`. These allow
  reading lists of input files from a file or standard input. Paths
  can be separated by newlines or a zero byte (`--files0`). These
  options can be specified multiple times.
- New option: `--link=[auto|on|off]`. When used with `--label`,
  this controls whether each label should be an `OSC 8`-style
  hyperlink to its input file.
- Multiple files can now be decoded in parallel.
- ConHost support was removed due to incompleteness and lack of
  interest.
- Added support for CoreGraphics loaders on MacOS.
- Added support for HEIF files on all platforms.
- Improved detection of ghostty inside tmux.
- Added support for GNU/Hurd console.

Bugs Fixed:
- Don't leave stdin in non-blocking mode.
- Use glibtoolize when libtoolize is unavailable (@saitoha).
- GNU/Hurd: Don't stall if pipe is closed on remote end.
- _mm_empty() not always called immediately after MMX use.
- FP division by zero possible in sixel palette generation.
- Don't wait for response if probing is unsupported.
- Wrong exit code returned on some failures.
