Defer the program termination on error until all files are closed and
(if applicable) all incompletely-written output files are deleted.
In addition, perform the following maintenance tasks:
* Rename and document the internal helpers used by the functions
`png2pnm` and `pnm2png`.
* Unset the executable permission bits for the *.bat test programs.
Improve and modernize png2pnm.c:
* Remove the explicit reading of the input PNG file signature.
Libpng is now able to read it, check it, and issue an appropriate
error message in case of magic number mismatch or file corruption.
(See the function `png_read_sig`.)
* Remove the explicit allocation and dealocation of the image data.
Libpng is now able to manage all the image data automatically.
(See the function `png_read_png`.)
* Specify the needed image transformations without a-priori checking
the image type for applicability.
* Use the `png_set_expand_gray_1_2_4_to_8` transformation.
Since libpng version 1.2.9, this transformation (if needed) must
be enabled separately from `png_set_expand`.
Improve and modernize pnm2png.c:
* Modify the allocation of image data, in order to match libpng's
internal allocation model.
* Transfer the ownership of the image data from the `pnm2png` function
to libpng, which will manage and dealocate it at the right time.
(See the functions `png_set_image_rows` and `png_data_freer`.)
