wordpress should issue a warning if no graphic library is installed

[waltercruz]

Hi people! I've installed wordpress on my site, and I had no library for image manipulation installed. Iin that case, I got no thumbnails.

Due to css of my site, I was not initially aware of my site, cause the layout was right.

So, I think that a warning on admin to the ones that don't have GD or imagick installed could be a good thing. I know that this is a strange corner case :)

This was one of the things mentioned back in #22056

I'm inclined to stick with the wontfix from the previous ticket, most end users wouldn't know what that is or what to do about it.

I'm also inclined to stick with wontfix, especially for user-facing stuff.

As a random drive-by thought, the other option that might be worth adopting for other things is E_USER_NOTICE for INFO level debug statements when WP_DEBUG is enabled for missing dependencies or other common failures.

That's a pretty good idea, probably warrants it's own ticket and is something we could reliably add as a task to implement on various elements and situations where we'd normally avoid any output.
