If `true`, `egui` will discard the loaded image data after the texture is loaded onto the GPU to reduce memory usage.

Summary
This PR introduces a new configuration option
reduce_texture_memoryinegui.Changes
reduce_texture_memoryoption inegui. When set totrue,eguiwill discard the loaded image data after the texture is uploaded to the GPU, reducing memory usage. This is beneficial when handling a large number of images and retaining the image data is unnecessary, potentially saving substantial memory. However, this makes it impossible to serialize the loaded images or render on non-GPU systems. Default isfalse.Impact
This new configuration option gives users more control over their memory usage, especially when dealing with a large number or large resolution of images. It allows users to optimize their applications based on their specific needs and constraints.
