Description
I need for some images to keep the color profile (ICC) in order to avoid color degradation. The original images is in AdobeRBG (rather than sRGB).
I see that jpegoptim has this kind of choice :
```
-s, --strip-all strip all markers from output file
--strip-none do not strip any markers
--strip-com strip Comment markers from output file
--strip-exif strip Exif markers from output file
--strip-iptc strip IPTC/Photoshop (APP13) markers from output file
--strip-icc strip ICC profile markers from output file
--strip-xmp strip XMP markers markers from output file
```
Do you know if keeping the ICC profile is easily feasible in jpeg-recompress ?

Research direction
Start by locating the jpeg-recompress implementation of the strip option and tracing how JPEG markers are handled. Compare its behavior with jpegoptim's --strip-icc choice, then verify that an AdobeRGB image can retain its ICC profile without preserving unwanted markers.
