After talk with Nikolay, I eventually choosed to stick with WIC mainly
because windowscodecs does not have startup/shutdown functions and thus
more light on side effects than gdiplus. The test in this patch series also
shows that Windows (probably) uses WIC for image conversion, not gdiplus.

Further testing revealed that invoking WIC for image conversion does not
actually load (delay-imported) gdiplus on both Windows and Wine.
