Description
Add more encoder options. We would first need to discuss to what extent this would even be possible (GD has very limited capabilities in this regard) and how to standardize it in a user-friendly way.
The following areas may be considered.
- Bit depth
- Dither
- Compression type
- Filter
- Effort (libvips specific)

Research direction
Start by reviewing the issue’s proposed encoder areas: bit depth, dither, compression type, filter, and effort. Investigate what GD can support and how libvips-specific effort differs, then discuss a user-friendly standard before implementation. Done would require an agreed scope and API, followed by support for the selected options.
