==== DXT1 ====
If 'alpha_type' is 0, then DXT1 compression is used.

Each block is 64 bits and begins with two 16 bit values, and are used to derived a 4 color palette. The values are interpreted as 565 RGB colors, with the least significant bits corresponding to blue, to create the first two colors in the palette.

If the first value is less than or equal to the second, the final entry of the palette is reserved. If 'alpha_depth' is 0, the reserved color is black. If 'alpha_depth' is 1, the reserved color is transparent. The remaining colors are created by interpolating between the first two colors in the palette. The remaining 32 bits are 16 2-bit values acting as a lookups to specify the colors in the block.
