Library usage example

This is a minimal example of using the astcenc codec as a library in another project. This sample shows:

• How to include astcenc as an external project CMake dependency.
• How to use the API to compress and decompress an image.

For sake of simplicity the example application uses fixed compression settings, reading an uncompressed LDR image, compressing using 6x6 blocks at medium quality, and then decompressing and writing the decompressed image back to disk as a PNG file.
