qoiz mime type

Me think that, alongside image/qoi mime type you should register image/qoiz type, defined as gzippped qoi format. This adds simple, portable, available to every web server, fast and effective, entropy compression to format. It (qoi+gz) often beats png, even with photographic images, still being many times faster than png, both with compressing and decompression.

There are quite a few tests done on this, even recently here, also I tried to implement it in qoibench, to show it in more palatable way, but get zlib error when otimize a code (-O3). Like with IMGP5493_seamless_2.png for example. If interested it's here.
