This avoids assuming that the pixels are suitably aligned for direct
access, which there's no guarantee that they are; in particular,
3-bytes-per-pixel RGB images are likely to have 3 out of 4 pixels
misaligned. On x86, dereferencing a misaligned pointer does what you
would expect, but on other architectures it's undefined whether it will
work, crash with SIGBUS, or silently give a wrong answer.
