I see, I'll split it into a libavcodec patch that handles the codec
only, and then a libavformat patch for the muxers/demuxers.

I will have to reverse-engineer the libjxl code, since the spec is
copyrighted and I can't access it. It might be available for a number
of CHF but I can't afford it.

Speaking of the bitstream format, this is starting to get a lot of
code in the prober, mostly because of how permissive JXL codestreams
are. I'm thinking that it might make sense to write a parser for Jpeg
XL in libavcodec, and then have libavformat's jpegxl prober just call
some of that same code. Thoughts?
