Support Linux / Non-Apple platforms about swift-zpl HOT 2 CLOSED

Thanks!

I have no experience reading images on other platforms, I can only add some compilation conditions for Apple platforms.

Please feel free to create a pull request if you know how to implement this feature.

I see you already added conditional imports! 🙏

If you are ok with a breaking the public API a tiny bit I would suggest keeping the GraphicField type free of non-portable types, and only provide a bunch of (conditional) convenience initializers.

That way the same type can live on all platforms, but if CoreGraphics is available you can use your awesome conversion magic from CGImage.

Another benefit this potentially has is that we could have an initializer with just Data and size, and I would even offer one with the pre-encoded string that is used in ZPL instead of raw bytes.

I think the use case exists where it makes sense to just hard-code a pre-converted ZPL-string of a logo or something.

On the type itself I would simply store size and stringified data.

Let me know what you think, I am happy to provide a PR if you agree (might take a few weeks though).
