Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
N/A

Describe the solution you'd like
The ILCE-9M3 (Sony a9iii) has a composite noise reduction shooting mode, which you can use in conjunction with Sony's Imaging Edge software to generate either JPEGs, TIFFs, or an AXR RAW file, which is a new format. No other mainstream software supports this RAW format yet, it would be great to see it in Darktable.

Alternatives
N/A

Additional context
I own this camera and I'd be happy to provide sample files to help the effort.
