Maybe the difficulty comes from the idea that tty emacs should somehow
match GUI emacs capabilities when displaying images.

The original use-case in this thread was using kitty terminal to view
documents like doc-view or pdf-tools.  There is no need to implement
full GUI like graphics capabilities for that.  In emacs-framebuffer, I
simply use the dimensions and position of the buffer to display images
without changing any layouting in tty emacs.  Adding images to eww would
be more complex, but I guess the change could be to shr layouting
written in elisp instead of changing emacs C code.
