19872	Add Hook/Filter to image_resize_dimensions in media.php	webbtj		"It would be great if a hook, a filter, a global, an option, or something somewhere were created to allow the image_resize_dimensions() function in media.php to resize images to be larger than the original. In a typical scenario I can understand why you would not want to allow this, however there are rare circumstances where this would be helpful (generating a background image). Currently lines 349 and 350 of media.php read:
{{{
$new_w = min($dest_w, $orig_w);
$new_h = min($dest_h, $orig_h);
}}}
and lines 378 to 380 read:
{{{
// if the resulting image would be the same size or larger we don't want to resize it
if ( $new_w >= $orig_w && $new_h >= $orig_h )
	return false;
}}}
It would be great if we were provided a boolean to alter these two blocks, for example:
{{{
if($allow_resize){
	$new_w = $dest_w;
	$new_h = $dest_h;
}else{
	$new_w = min($dest_w, $orig_w);
	$new_h = min($dest_h, $orig_h);
}
}}}
...
{{{
// if the resulting image would be the same size or larger we don't want to resize it
if ( $new_w >= $orig_w && $new_h >= $orig_h && !$allow_resize)
	return false;
