This commit un-deprecates DeprecatedString, and repurposes it as a byte
string.
As the null state has already been removed, there are no other
particularly hairy blockers in repurposing this type as a byte string
(what it _really_ is).

Originally I simply thought that passing file paths is quite OK, but as
Linus pointed to, it turned out that passing file paths to ensure some
files are able to be decoded is awkward because it does not work with
images being served over HTTP.
Therefore, ideally we should just use the MIME type as an optional
argument to ensure that we can always fallback to use that in case
sniffing for the correct image type has failed so we can still detect
files like with the TGA format, which has no magic bytes.
Because TGA images don't have magic bytes as a signature to be detected,
instead assume a sequence of ReadonlyBytes is a possible TGA image only
if we are given a path so we could check the extension of the file and
see if it's a TGA image.
When we know the path of the file being loaded, we will try to first
check its extension, and only if there's no match to a known decoder,
based on simple extension lookup, then we would probe for other formats
as usual with the normal sniffing method.
