Add support for the ICNS icon format
------------------------------------

                 Key: SANSELAN-45
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SANSELAN-45
             Project: Commons Sanselan
          Issue Type: New Feature
         Environment: All
            Reporter: Damjan Jovanovic
            Priority: Minor


I am submitting a patch that adds support for the Apple ICNS icon format. It 
supports reading, writing, getting the image info, and dumping the icons, and 
contains insightful tests.

This is, to my knowledge, the most correct open source ICNS parser in existence 
at the moment, and the only one to contain any detailed tests. It deals with an 
extensively investigated compression quirk in 128x128 images, uses the same 
alpha mask search order used by MacOS, and has been thoroughly tested for 
conformance against MacOS itself. It correctly parses all the ICNS files that 
ship with MacOS.

The only missing feature is support for 256x256 and 512x512 icons, but that 
requires JPEG2000 decompression which Sanselan doesn't have at the moment.
