HEIC image translator for Haiku

This is a Haiku image translator for HEIC images, allowing them to be opened in Haiku applications that support the Translation Kit.

• This is a work in progress and has not been thoroughly tested.
• Currently, it only supports reading HEIC files, not writing them.
• Based on the code from https://discuss.haiku-os.org/t/heic-image-format-actually-easy-to-parse-with-libheif/14883.
• HEIC images for testing can be found at https://github.com/tigranbs/test-heic-images
