Adding proper JPEG XL support

So Google is pushing AVIF on everyone even though it's the worse standard between AVIF and JPEG XL.
Opera had an Experimental feature on v.111, where you could set a flag and enable JPEG XL support. This doesn't exist anymore in v113.
JPEG XL support would however be a great way of increasing performance of browsers that are supposed to be lightweight (GX or Mini) or mobile browsers that are used with bad internet connections. It would be great for Opera to be the first chromium browser with proper JXL support.
This is a great video that gets a little more into the details of JPEG XL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlWjf8asI4Y

@nnopp When Chromium has it, then Opera probably will have it too.

@leocg As far as I know Chromium doesn't support it or it's behind a flag.

@nnopp Yep, the flag you mentioned.
