Description
The kitty terminal added in version 0.40.0 support for a new protocol that allows TUIs to specify the font size to be used when printing text. See: https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/text-sizing-protocol/
It would be nice to support this in Rio as well.

Research direction

Determine how Kitty 0.40.0 font-size requests should be represented and applied in Rio; done means Rio supports the protocol without regressing existing terminal behavior.
