New lossless codec with Quite Ok Image (QOI)

Outstanding news. I added a new codec which makes use of Quite Ok Image (QOI) format for lossless encoding. The encoded image is compressed also with LZ4 to save more space (but it can be optionally compressed with ZIP as well). The new codec is used mainly for quality updates but it is so fast that can be used also to stream lossless video streams with high bandwidth usage. The optimizations done at transport protocol level makes it possible to stream lossless videos in FullHD with high frame rate in a giga network with low CPU usage on middle/high-end hardware. Soon I will upload a video on youtube with a demo on a 1 Gbps network with lossless encoding and high frame rate.
