[OpenJDK 2D-Dev] [10] RFR JDK-8190997: PNGImageReader throws NullPointerException when PLTE section is missing

[Sergey Bylokhov]

It looks fine, but I wonder why
metadata.PLTE_present == false
is used instead of
!metadata.PLTE_present

So while reading metadata itself we should verify the same and if required PLTE chunk is absent we should throw proper IIOException instead of allowing the code to continue further and throw NPE while trying to access palette information.
