An ImageLoader is a generic interface for loading encoded image data of
any supported format. It has an ImageLoaderPlugin internally that does
all the work.
This patch adds an initial PNGImageLoaderPlugin that knows how to
retrieve the size of a PNG, and the bitmap. The API is divided into
size() and bitmap() to facilitate geometry-only decoding.
This will be useful in places like LibHTML where we need dimensions for
layout purposes but can wait with the bitmap until later.
- Implemented support for more PNG formats including 16-bit per channel
and 8-bit indexed with palette.
- Made the library a little more resistant to crashes by returning
false for known but unsupported formats.
Instead of LibGUI and WindowServer building their own copies of the drawing
and graphics code, let's it in a separate LibDraw library.
This avoids building the code twice, and will encourage better separation
of concerns. :^)
