  There is a heuristic called the minimum sum of absolute differences heuristic, suggested by the PNG standard:
   *  If the image type is Palette, or the bit depth is smaller than 8, then do not filter the image (i.e.
      use fixed filtering, with the filter None).
   * (The other case) If the image type is Grayscale or RGB (with or without Alpha), and the bit depth is
     not smaller than 8, then use adaptive filtering heuristic as follows: independently for each row, apply
     all five filters and select the filter that produces the smallest sum of absolute values per row.
  This heuristic is used if filter strategy is LFS_MINSUM and filter_palette_zero is true.

  If filter_palette_zero is true and filter_strategy is not LFS_MINSUM, the above heuristic is followed,
  but for "the other case", whatever strategy filter_strategy is set to instead of the minimum sum
  heuristic is used.
