JavaFX example: Copy image pixel-by-pixel using PixelReader and PixelWriter

javafx.scene.image.PixelReader and javafx.scene.image.PixelWriter defines methods for retrieving the pixel data from an Image or other surface containing pixels, and writing the pixel data of a WritableImage or other surface containing writable pixels.

Example to copy image pixel-by-pixel using PixelReader and PixelWriter.
