ImageIO objects, like ImageReader, ImageWrite, ImageInputStream and 
ImageOutputStream, should implement AutoClosable.

There is a risk of keeping resources opened longer than needed (or even run 
into a resource leak with long running processes) as the user cannot use 
try-with-resources currently. The fact that there is a `dispose()` method to be 
called is easily missed, as people tend to look for `close()`.

This is not a big change, but it is useful for those working with ImageIO.
