Image library

[astrsh]

Pull Request

Brief description.

Introduces an image library that includes general image related functionality. The image biome provider and image sampler now depend on this library, and have been reworked to include new functionality via the library.

What Issues Does This Fix?

The image biome provider lacks some functionality, such as non tiling behaviour and manually defined color to biome mappings. These are now provided via the library and implemented in the image provider which has been reworked.

Goal of the PR

The main goal is to provide improvements to the image biome provider functionality, as well as provide the base for an image pipeline source that will be implemented on top of #355.

Affects of the PR

Configs utilizing the image provider and or image sampler will now need to depend on the library-image addon. In addition, image sampler use will require the config-noise-image addon as a dependency. Image provider and image sampler configurations will need to be adjusted to follow the new syntax.

The config-noise-function addon is bumped to v2.0.0 as per the removal of the IMAGE sampler

The BufferedImage loader has also been moved from common implementation to the library, so anywhere BufferedReader is included as a template field will need to depend on the library for loading instead.
