Remove decode_jpeg_* APIs?

I've been thinking about this a bit:

• As far as I can tell, decode_jpeg_buffer has two users (the example and my video player demo), decode_jpeg_file has none
• They're a big chunk of code in the STM32 firmware (~6k text, ~5k bss)
• Not even implemented in 32blit-pico
• sdl2-image keeps causing dependency issues
• It would probably be more useful to have something that wraps the same decoder everywhere on the user side of the API :thinking:

I wonder if anyone else has used this? JPEG is definitely one of the worst ways to get image data onto a microcontroller and we have an explicit pipeline for converting assets!

I would much rather see that valuable firmware space used for something that is widely useful and benefits from being fast, like more drawing routines (#32), higher level multiplayer code, or more flexible menu system, or maybe even something like stagelib. Even just another font or some standard button sprites would be more useful.
