Encoding to JPEG transfer syntaxes

[Enet4]

Decoding JPEG-based transfer syntaxes is already supported, but support for encoding a native DICOM object to JPEG would be good to have.

In a first phase, this amounts to implementing the encode method of the PixelRWAdapter implementation for JPEGAdapter.

• Encode to JPEG baseline (done via Encoding to JPEG transfer syntaxes #303)
• Encode to JPEG extended (12-bit)
• Encode to JPEG lossless
• Encode to JPEG-LS
• Encode to JPEG 2000

I think I can take this issue.

Is there a way to test this new implementation after it is finished?

Great!

Is there a way to test this new implementation after it is finished?

By lack of a proper transcoding module (efforts are ongoing!), we can test the adapter in isolation by encoding one of the test files, reading the output as a JPEG file using the decoder and checking whether some meta-properties are correct (width, height...). Pixel data check could be done too, but we would need to allow an error margin to account for loss.
