Description

I am having the same issue as https://github.com/PintaProject/Pinta/issues/1857:

>**Description**
>The build of gdk-pixbuf that ships with the Flatpak version does not support saving as JXL.
>
>**To Reproduce**
>
>1. Draw anything
>2. Save it as JXL
>3. Get errored

Here is the error I receive:
```
GLib.GException: This build of gdk-pixbuf does not support saving the image format: jxl

```

I am using version 3.1.2, running LMDE 7 (Debian 13) on the host. Let me know if you need anything else.

**Edit:** `libjxl0.11` and `libjxl-dev` are installed on the host system.

Research direction

Start at Pinta.Core.GdkPixbufFormat in the Save As flow and inspect how the Flatpak build supplies gdk-pixbuf and JPEG XL support. Reproduce saving an image as JXL in the Flatpak; done means the Flatpak can save JXL without the reported gdk-pixbuf exception.
