JPEG-LS plugin

[thoughtslinger]

JPEG-LS is a lossless/near-lossless jpeg format that we encounter from time to time. JAI has a native JPEG-LS codec but it would be great to have it in pure java. Please consider adding this to the JPEG plugin.

As mentioned in the email, CharLS is an open-source implementation (BSD license) that might be used as a starting point: https://github.com/team-charls/charls
