TIFF files can store samples at non-standard bit depths (e.g. 10, 12,
14, 24 bits) packed tightly in a continuous bit stream. Previously
these were rejected as unsupported color types.
This adds:
- MSB-first bit extraction from packed byte streams (unpack_bits,
extract_bits_msb) to expand N-bit samples to standard-width output
(9-16 bit → u16, 17-32 bit → u32)
- Output buffer sizing using the promoted sample width instead of the
packed bit depth (output_bits_per_sample field in ReadoutLayout)
- A new code path in expand_chunk that reads packed rows, unpacks to
standard-width samples, then applies predictor and color inversion
- Horizontal predictor support for extended depths
Tested with 12-bit grayscale and RGB images (existing test suite),
plus all libtiffpic depth test images (10/12/14/24-bit in gray, RGB
contig, and RGB planar configurations).
