Bug Description

* Impact

Eog can't open high resolution jpg files

* Test Case

- download https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdk-pixbuf/uploads/fcda5bc359fbf55a1b9755ba92c3303d/kwiatek.jpg
- try to open the image in eog

* Regression potential

The change increase the memory usage limit for loading jpg, it could lead to put the system under memory pressure. The limit has been added in 22.10 though so it isn't a regression compared to the previous version of Ubuntu

---------------------

Hi,

22.10. Just try to open some .jpg files from my usual storage.

Error interpreting jpeg file ( Backing store not supported. )

Those same pictures open in other OSes ( 22.04, 20.04 and else. )

Can't use those pictures as backgrounds.

But able to open them in Gimp or Shotwell.

Maybe related to : https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gdk-pixbuf/-/issues/216

I installed libgdk-pixbuf2.0-common (2.42.9+dfsg-1ubuntu1) and libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0 (2.42.9+dfsg-1ubuntu1) from the proposed repository on 22.10. I can confirm that I'm now able to open large images in eog that I wasn't able to open before, so this looks good to me.
