John Bowler 4253c4d759 tIME and text position handling ...

The handling of tIME and text chunks on read now records the location of the
chunks relative to PLTE and IDAT.  Behavior on write is unchanged except that if
the position was recorded on read it will be re-used.

This involves an ABI change to the png_text_struct; a one byte location field is
added (with the same meaning as the one used to record unknown chunk location.)
Because this field is only used on read there is no API change unless a png_info
from a libpng read is passed to a subsequent libpng write (this did not work
very well before 1.7; the tIME chunk could get duplicated.)

png_set_text ignores the new field, resetting it to the current position in the
read or write stream.  On write the position is set to the next location to be
written unless the write has not started (the position is before the signature)
in which case the location is set to PNG_HAVE_PLTE|PNG_AFTER_IDAT.  When the
chunk is written the position is set to the actual write location (effectively
the position is frozen.)
