merge with aicspylibczi?

[toloudis]

Feature Description

Crazy Idea: bring the aicspylibczi code into this repo so it can be maintained separately. Currently aicspylibczi is used by both aicsimageio and bioio-czi.

Use Case

Because this repo can act as a self-contained czi file reader, we don't necessarily need to have aicspylibczi as a dependency. It could all live in this single repo.

Solution

Copy all aicspylibczi code into here, set up and modernize the c++ build with python wrapper object (this is the only heavy lift). Adopt the gh-actions build and test matrix from aicspylibczi. Bring the libCZI dependency up to date.

Alternatives

The alternative is to continue to keep aicspylibczi as a separate dependency.

Shelving this until we see or anticipate divergence in usage between this package's usage of aicspylibczi and aicsimageio's usage of aicspylibczi at which time we can evaluate what the best route is going forward. The motivation to wait until such time came from a discussion about the usage of aicspylibczi outside of aicsimageio and bioio-czi which would mean we would need to support those use cases somehow as well resulting in potentially little benefit to moving aicspylibczi into bioio-czi at this moment.

Consider CZI's own reader which includes remote reading instead of continuing with aicspylibczi

What is CZI's own reader and where can I find it?
