Re: [02/10] windowscodecs: Reimplement QueryCapability of the BMP decoder.

Does QueryCapability really initialize the decoder? Can you get a
frame out of it? I guess it never occurred to me to try.

I was OK with this for the other implementations because I figured
it'd be easy enough to invalidate the decoder after successfully
calling Initialize, if that turned out to be a problem.

I've added a test that confirms that GetFrame succeeds after a successful
QueryCapability call.

Yes, that was also my impression that implementing QueryCapability using
Initialize and then undo the changes would be an obvious (and easy to do)
way to implement it, but apparently MS developers decided leave the state of
the decoder unchanged (that's a really confusing behaviour of QueryCapability
if you ask me).
