Description
The overhead of compressing preview captures to PNG or JPG and then decompressing them for use is unnecessary and slow for our use case. Can we have the option to get raw uncompressed bitmaps from CapturePreview instead?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the CapturePreview API and its existing preview capture behavior. Determine where the PNG/JPG conversion is defined and how an option for raw uncompressed bitmaps would fit; the work is done when callers can request raw bitmaps without the compression and decompression step.
