It now uses QDataStream to deal with endianness. It also supports
several QImageIOHandler options.
This comes with a more comprehensive test suite than the old code. Note
that the old test suite was incorrect as the old code wrote the floats
in the header out incorrectly (although no-one noticed because no
software seems to care about those values).
All the test PIC files in the test suite appear correct according to the
specification (by inspection with Okteta). Unfortunately, there is a
lack of other freely-available software that reads and writes PIC files
(the main application that uses them is proprietary), and so this is the
best I can do.

Images are converted to ARGB32 format, then each byte (ie: each pixel
channel) in the read image is allowed to deviate by some specified
amount from the corresponding byte in the expected image, to allow for
rounding errors etc.
By default, no deviation is permitted, but the XCF tests are allowed a
deviation of 1, as the alpha blending can result in rounding errors
(depending on whether hardware acceleration is used, for example). In
the end, we are not too concerned about a small deviation that is
invisible to the human eye.

This is intended as an aid when writing and debugging imageformat
plugins. It creates a file containing the bytes of QImage::bits(),
which can then be viewed in Okteta.
