.pam is a "portrable arbitrarymap" as documented at
https://netpbm.sourceforge.net/doc/pam.html
It's very similar to .pbm, .pgm, and .ppm, so this uses the
PortableImageMapLoader framework. The header is slightly different,
so this has a custom header parsing function.
Also, .pam only exixts in binary form, so the ascii form support
becomes optional.
This commit un-deprecates DeprecatedString, and repurposes it as a byte
string.
As the null state has already been removed, there are no other
particularly hairy blockers in repurposing this type as a byte string
(what it _really_ is).

IFF was a generic container fileformat that was popular on the Amiga
since it was the only file format supported by Deluxe Paint.
ILBM is an image format popular in the late eighties/nineties
that uses the IFF container.
This is a very first version of the decoder that only supports
(byterun) compressed files with bpp <= 8.
Only the minimal chunks are decoded: CMAP, BODY, BMHD.
I am planning to add support for the following variants:
- EHB (32 colours + lighter 32 colours)
- HAM6 / HAM8 (special mode that allowed to display the whole Amiga
4096 colours / 262 144 colours palette)
- TrueColor (24bit)
Things that could be fun to do:
- Still images could be animated using color cycle information
JPEG-XL is a new image format standardized by the same committee as the
original JPEG image format. It has all the nice feature of recent
formats, and great compression ratios. For more details, look at:
https://jpegxl.info/
This decoder is far from being feature-complete, as it features a grand
total of 60 FIXMEs and TODOs but anyway, it's still a good start.
I developed this decoder in the Serenity way, I just try to decode a
specific image while staying as close as possible to the specification.
Considering that the format supports a lot of options, and that we
basically support only one possibility for each of them, I'm pretty sure
that we can only decode the image I've developed this decoder for.
Which is:

This adds a decoder for the TinyVG vector format (https://tinyvg.tech/).
TinyVG is a very simple binary vector format, but it is good enough to
represent a lot of SVGs, without needing the full web engine.
The main use case for Serenity is for scalable icons (which .tvg easily
handles).
No real behavior change. (The two globals are now both initialized
at first use instead of before main(), but that should have no
observable effect. The motivation is readability.)
