SAVE_UNKNOWN_CHUNKS is turned off *and* the application does not set
a user callback an unknown chunk will not be read, leading to a read
error, which was revealed by the "tunknown" test.
+ Cleaned up and corrected ICC profile handling.
+ contrib/libtests/makepng: corrected 'rgb' and 'gray' cases. profile_error
+ messages could be truncated; made a correct buffer size calculation and
+ adjusted pngerror.c appropriately. png_icc_check_* checking improved;
+ changed the functions to receive the correct color type of the PNG on read
+ or write and check that it matches the color space of the profile (despite
+ what the comments said before, there is danger in assuming the app will
+ cope correctly with an RGB profile on a grayscale image and, since it
+ violates the PNG spec, allowing it is certain to produce inconsistent
+ app behavior and might even cause app crashes.) Check that profiles
+ contain the tags needed to process the PNG (tags all required by the ICC
+ spec). Removed unused PNG_STATIC from pngpriv.h.
