Prerequisites
Description
Prior to this PR the png encoder always used adaptive filtering when choosing the filter method to use to provide optimum compression. This generally provides the smallest output but comes at a performance cost since the scanline has to be filtered several times before compression.
This PR adds the ability to choose each of the 5 filtering methods to use per scanline row, plus adaptive filtering which gives the developer great flexibility to encode pngs to their requirements.
