Why the library depends on both `LodePNG` and `stb_image`?

Hi there!

Just got curious why bimg depends on both these libraries while stb_image handles PNG files quite well.

STB doesn't have support for 16-bit PNGs.

The latest version does and they even added 'stbi_load_16' if you want to get real 16bit and not downscale to 8.
