Add support for more DICOMweb transfer syntaxes

If this issue is fixed, it will largely fix this issue as well.
If we add the optional dependencies imagecodecs and pylibjpeg-rle, several more transfer syntaxes will be supported. The full list can be found here.
We can add imagecodecs as a dependency directly, since it has good cross-platform support.
For pylibjpeg-rle, it doesn't have binary wheels for python >= 3.11, which means that we can't install it on modern python without a rust compiler. We can either add this with a version restriction (< 3.11, which means we'll need to update it when they release a newer wheel), or we add it as an extra requires and build our own linux wheels for it. For the nonce, maybe just add it with a version restriction?
Pydicom's RLE decoder only requires numpy to be present. I asked Erik if he would consider using that instead.

I would have expected RLE to be distinct from jpeg-rle (but I don't know).
