8-bit palette is an easy one. The tricky one is 4-/2-/1-bit palettes
(16-/4-/2-color) since then PNG packs several pixels in a single byte.
Usefulness of it to compress image is debatable since although it saves
space by itself, it messes with filter and huffman.

The compatibility is the idea. Or if editor used by artist defaults to
adam7 and doesn't have an option (at least not easily accessible one) to
change this behaviour
