Currently, TiffImages.jl uses Inflate.jl to decompress TIFF files that use deflate decompression.
This pull request creates a package extension CodecZlibExt that will use CodecZlib for delfate
decompression if it is already loaded.
This PR uses a
Ref
that can be modified viaTiffImages.set_zlib_decompression_stream!
.That function is invoked the init function of the extension.
The main reason for wanting to use CodecZlib.jl is that it is much faster than Inflate.jl
for decompression.
