Request: DDS texture support

[mattreecebentley]

In my experience working with darkplaces engine, DDS textures load about 4x faster than tga/jpeg/png, largely because they already have their mipmaps precalculated. Given the right dds encoder, they can also give better quality (via better mipmapping). Support for this format would be a big win for modders using hd textures.

Commit 2e1abf9fa7e8d3be06663e57921b316f4ffc3aaa added dds support. Dated 11th April, 2020, one and a half years before your request. (also include more pixel formats than DP, notably bc6 ufloat, and bc7 unorm.)

Cool. Might want to write that up on the website, as most people, including myself, don't read through old commits on github to see if anythings changed.

I second this ^ @Shpoike :)
