Retiring the OpenJPEG (jp2) plugin

[Fazekas László]

Honestly I had no idea yet that Krita can use jpeg2000... Actually it's 
the picture format of the movie frames inside the DCP format (with XYZ 
color space). However, DCP is a final export format for cinema 
projection but it's very hard to play in real time without special 
hardware. I think it's not really used for compositing and animation. At 
least that's what I see. So I think it's safe to remove.

What would be better to support for animation is the DPX format. It's 
uncompressed, the native capture format of the BMD cards and I think 
it's widely used in high quality digital video/cinema projects, like 
color grading.
