When trying to figure out the correct implementation, we now have a very
strong distinction on plugins that are well suited for sniffing, and
plugins that need a MIME type to be chosen.
Instead of having multiple calls to non-static virtual sniff methods for
each Image decoding plugin, we have 2 static methods for each
implementation:
1. The sniff method, which in contrast to the old method, gets a
ReadonlyBytes parameter and ensures we can figure out the result
with zero heap allocations for most implementations.
2. The create method, which just creates a new instance so we don't
expose the constructor to everyone anymore.
In addition to that, we have a new virtual method called initialize,
which has a per-implementation initialization pattern to actually ensure
each implementation can construct a decoder object, and then have a
correct context being applied to it for the actual decoding.
Originally I simply thought that passing file paths is quite OK, but as
Linus pointed to, it turned out that passing file paths to ensure some
files are able to be decoded is awkward because it does not work with
images being served over HTTP.
Therefore, ideally we should just use the MIME type as an optional
argument to ensure that we can always fallback to use that in case
sniffing for the correct image type has failed so we can still detect
files like with the TGA format, which has no magic bytes.
Because TGA images don't have magic bytes as a signature to be detected,
instead assume a sequence of ReadonlyBytes is a possible TGA image only
if we are given a path so we could check the extension of the file and
see if it's a TGA image.
When we know the path of the file being loaded, we will try to first
check its extension, and only if there's no match to a known decoder,
based on simple extension lookup, then we would probe for other formats
as usual with the normal sniffing method.
To transparently support multi-frame images, all decoder plugins have
already been updated to return their only bitmap for frame(0).
This patch completes the remaining cleanup work by removing the
ImageDecoder::bitmap() API and having all clients call frame() instead.
Previously, ImageDecoder::create() would return a NonnullRefPtr and
could not "fail", although the returned decoder may be "invalid" which
you then had to check anyway.
The new interface looks like this:
static RefPtr<Gfx::ImageDecoder> try_create(ReadonlyBytes);
This simplifies ImageDecoder since it no longer has to worry about its
validity. Client code gets slightly clearer as well.
Making a bitmap non-volatile after being volatile may fail to allocate
physical pages after the kernel stole the old pages in a purge.
This is different from the pages being purged, but reallocated. In that
case, they are simply replaced with zero-fill-on-demand pages as if
they were freshly allocated.

A C++ source file containing just
#include <LibFoo/Bar.h>
should always compile cleanly.
This patch adds missing header inclusions that could have caused weird error
messages if they were used in a different context. Also, this confused QtCreator.
