In 2k21 any xpm with any filter will look abominable :)

We (telega.el project) see many images of different kind daily, and only
some of them looks OK when nearest filter is applied. Most of the time,
especially if some contrast diagonals are involved (including character
glyphs) upscaling results are no ok. Also, doc-view suffers from this,
most pdf files viewed inside Emacs looks no ok.
On the other hand the bug report complains that scaled up

Just get rid of any xpm :) Emacs has nice support for SVG after all, we can
write xpm to svg converter to keep pixel art precision.

Or maybe we can make the transformation filter configurable, so it could be
changed from elisp side?
