bug#18683: Patch for wish-list item: 560

[Vitalie Spinu]

The work is here https://github.com/vitoshka/image-transform/

It's an uniform and extensible interface to internal imagemagic and
convert backends. Virtually any type of transformation could be done
from inside of emacs and multiple transformation can be stacked.

The reason I got stuck back then is that I wanted to implement
interactive cropping with the mouse. I have looked into that but
couldn't figure a good way to do so. In hindsight, I should have
finished that I had and pushed to emacs and only then think about the
rest.

Within a week or two I will have loads of free time again so I will be
finishing it for sure this time.
