Message:

Media: improve Imagick handling of indexed PNG images with transparency.

Fix an issue where certain transparent PNG images experienced noticeable quality degradation when resized by Imagick.

Follow up to [60246].

Props elvismdev, SirLouen, siliconforks, nosilver4u, iamshashank.

Fixes #63448.

+             * We need to perform some special handling for certain types of images:
+             * 1. For PNG images, we need to specify compression settings and remove unneeded chunks.
+             * 2. For indexed PNG images, the number of colors must not exceed 256.
+             * 3. For indexed PNG images with an alpha channel, the tRNS chunk must be preserved.
+             * 4. For indexed PNG images with true alpha transparency (an alpha channel > 1 bit),
+             *    we need to avoid saving the image using ImageMagick's 'png8' format,
+             *    because that supports only binary (1 bit) transparency.
+             *
+             * For #4 we want to check whether the image has a 1-bit alpha channel before resizing,
+             * because resizing may cause the number of alpha values to multiply due to antialiasing.
+             * (We're assuming that, if the original image had only a 1-bit alpha channel,
+             * then a 1-bit alpha channel should be good enough for the resized images too.)
+             * So we're going to perform all the necessary checks before resizing the image
+             * and store the results in variables for later use.
