Farbfeld image format

[Lehonti]

This format was envisioned by a community of what could be described as Unix hackers.

It is essentially raw pixel data that is easy to generate and pipe into other programs.

The gist of it is the separation of image generation from image compression/encoding, two processes which are often done together.

What do you think about making this into an add-in?

We don't currently have any examples of a file format add-in (the old WebP add-in is obsolete now that gdk-pixbuf supports webp), so this would make for a good example with it being a simple format to parse. It could be hosted in the https://github.com/PintaProject organization with the other "official" add-ins

@cameronwhite that sounds like a good idea :) I will stay tuned for when the repo gets created
