PNG compression level setting API: this allows the various compression settings
controlling deflate, fitlering, and so on to be set via a single setting with
six values. This is currently documented in png.h ("Write compression
settings").
Internally the compression settings have been tuned both for the overall setting
and for any specific settings made by the original APIs.
APIs to control iCCP chunk compression separately have been added.
contrib/examples/pngcp.c has been modified to accomodate the new compression
setting and to include options for separate control of iCCP chunk compression.
The new ABI, png_setting, has been modified to accomodate a wider range of
settings and most of the old compression control ABIs have been replaced by
function-like macros with the same API which call png_setting. This is an API
check in 1.7.0 for png_setting (alone). png_setting now handles all of
png_set_option. This eliminates 19 ABIs at the cost of adding 1 (png_setting).
CRC and benign error checking has been updated internally to use bit-fields and
the CRC calculation skip when the CRC is not used has been improved slightly to
avoid the initialization of the CRC. A new png_setting based API allows more
detailed control of benign error/warning messages (this may change, the internal
error handling seems too complex.) The ERROR_NUMBERS support has been removed
with the intent of implementing proper i18n.
The memcpy-size-0 issue in png_push_fill_buffer has been fixed, with an
appropriate debug() assert if a fill for 0 bytes occurs.
Most PNG_FLAG_ values for png_struct::flags have been eliminated (as a result of
the benign error handling changes). Only one remains.

This implements the code for row-by-row filter selection but does not provide an
actual implementation; the selection function just chooses the lowest set filter
bit.

Implemented better defaulting of zlib settings based on image properties.
Implemented pass-through of png_write_rows when the rows can be used directly (a
common case) optimizing the handling of previous-row buffering.
Removed the METHODICAL filter selection method and disabled the HEURISTIC one;
the first was ridiculously slow (though useful for experiments) the second
doesn't work. Filter selection is temporarily disabled (it defaults to the
lowest numbered filter in the list; typically 'none').
New handling of compression settings (incomplete), new PNG compression level
(not yet visible in an API).
Back ported 'PNG_FAST_FILTERS' from 1.6 (in png.h).
There are minimal API changes beyond removal of the selection options. Work is
still to be done to investigate a filter selection mechanism that is at least as
good as the previous one.

More sophisticated defaulting which helps significantly for some files along
with code to make it easier to control the compression defaults and to make the
settings honor the API calls the application makes (previously low windowBits
settings would get reset to higher values.)

This implements an API and provides a number of assist macros to allow an
application which uses the simplified API write to bypass stdio and write
directly to memory.
It also includes some warnings (png.h) and some check code to detect *possible*
overflow in the ROW_STRIDE and simplified image SIZE macros. This disallows
image width/height/format that *might* overflow. A quiet API change that limits
in-memory image size (uncompressed) to less that 4GByte and image row size
(stride) to less than 2GByte.

The filter selection options are made more intuitive (IMO, but I am not an
Intuitive User). Dummy code added for methodical filter selection.

This implements the heuristic part of filter selction, the methodic testing
approach is still not implemented. png_set_option methods are incomplete.

Now that the code works consistently so that these just switch off the support
for having libpng do the interlace/deinterlace the old names make more sense,
restoring them avoids cruft in the configuration file and avoids an unnecessary
version specific change.

This implements a new chunk parse implementation that can be shared, it
is currently shared by the progressive reader and the sequential one
(not, yet, the writer).
The patch also implements shared transform handling that is used
throughout.
