Texture.newFromFilename

Creates a new texture by loading an image from a file.

The file format is detected automatically. The supported formats are PNG, JPEG and TIFF, though more formats might be available.

If null is returned, then error will be set.

This function is threadsafe, so that you can e.g. use GTask and gio.task.Task.runInThread to avoid blocking the main thread while loading a big image.
