Other (please specify)

Current SDL2-image used from source for platforms that don't use system package (such as Android) is 2.0.5, which is 3 years old at this point

It also requires a workaround of IMG.c, which is no longer needed in recent versions, AFAIK

Are there any specific features of fixes that we would specifically benefit from?

Native CMake support
New SDL-image uses stb_image as a default backend for PNG and JPG, so we can drop libpng dependency
Updates to PNG decoding (example: PNG images with a palette are loaded as SDL surfaces with a palette from 2.8.0)
