I don't want to free dataprop->value. I want to cache the uncompressed
data alongside the FIT, so a renewed call to fit_open_image()
doesn't decompress again. I haven't checked if this can happen currently,
but it feels natural to keep value_const for the uncompressed data
and populate value with the compressed data and do the uncompression
only once on first fit_open_image().
