Subject: [PATCH 1/7] Add ISO 21496-1 gain map support

Implements parsing and serialization of gain maps in JPEG XL files.
Gain maps allow images to store both SDR and HDR representations
with metadata describing the conversion between them.

The implementation:
- Parses jhgm boxes from JXL containers
- Provides GainMapBundle API matching libjxl's structure
- Includes serialization/deserialization (binary compatible with libjxl)
- Adds decoder.gain_map() method to access gain map data
- Includes example and tests with sample file

All tests passing, format verified against libjxl test vectors.

Subject: [PATCH 5/7] Address PR review comments for gain map support

- Fix ICC profile comment: clarify it uses JXL-specific compression, not Brotli
- Fix gain_map comment: can be container, not just naked codestream
- Use valid 12-byte minimal JXL codestream from mathiasbynens/small
- Implement ColorEncoding parsing using BitReader/read_unconditional
- Add try_reserve for gain_map_data to prevent DoS from large allocations
- Use std::mem::take instead of clear() to actually free memory
- Add warning log when gain map parsing fails

Subject: [PATCH 6/7] Address remaining review feedback for gain map support

- Fix comment: minimal JXL is 512x256 RGB, not 1x1 grayscale
- Add warning log when color_encoding is set but serialization
  not implemented (requires BitWriter)
- Remove conservative size estimate since color_encoding is always 0
- Update documentation to clarify the limitation
