Comment:

 In [changeset:"60246" 60246]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="60246"
 Media: fix degraded handling for 24 bit PNG uploads.

 Add additional logic to correctly identify indexed PNG images so output
 PNGs correctly  match the uploaded image depth.

 Fix a regression introduced in WordPress 6.8 [59589] where uploaded
 Truecolor PNG images (meaning > 8 bit) were mis-identified as indexed (8
 bit) images, causing output images to be indexed instead of Truecolor
 resulting in a noticeable visual degradation.

 Props elvismdev, wildworks, SirLouen, siliconforks, joemcgill,
 iamshashank, nosilver4u.
 Fixes #63448.
