David Korth 120505d880 [libpng] Update: v1.6.46 -> v1.6.47
The APNG patch for v1.6.47 isn't out yet, so I hacked in some changes
to get the APNG code to build in pngrutil.c. In particular, the PNGv3
chromacity changes also modified pngrutil.c to use table-based dispatch
instead of an if/else. png_read_frame_head() doesn't use this yet, so
the APNG functions in pngrutil.c haven't been marked static yet, but
they do now return png_handle_result_code.

TODO: Rebase using the APNG patch once it's rebased for v1.6.47.

NOTE: PNGv3 apparently makes APNG part of the specification, so
libpng "should" gain built-in support for APNG without a patch at
some point.

Changes from version 1.6.46 to version 1.6.47
---------------------------------------------
* Modified the behaviour of colorspace chunks in order to adhere
to the new precedence rules formulated in the latest draft of
the PNG Specification.
(Contributed by John Bowler)
* Fixed a latent bug in `png_write_iCCP`.
This would have been a read-beyond-end-of-malloc vulnerability,
introduced early in the libpng-1.6.0 development, yet (fortunately!)
it was inaccessible before the above-mentioned modification of the
colorspace precedence rules, due to pre-existing colorspace checks.
