Add support for qoi image format.

As qoi is a new image format with significant performance advatages over other lossless compresion such as png, I believe that it would be beneficial to implement it as part of the standard library.
This would be beneficial over using third party modules as it means there will be a consistent and stable api which will be consistent with jpeg and png images.

Example usecase

For uses such as rendering fractals png can be slow to compress and save the images. The qoi image format allows this to be done far quicker and has similar levels of compression

Marking for x/image
Seems like something that can and should live outside of the standard library https://go.dev/doc/faq#x_in_std
Appears to be very new with not many users/importers https://pkg.go.dev/search?q=qoi

I still think it would be beneficial but it is probably worth waiting to see if qoi gains wider adoption.
