make gnome-xcf-thumbnailer usable today

Thomas Debesse requested to merge illwieckz/gnome-xcf-thumbnailer:fix into master
  • import libpng patch from Debian by Nobuhiro (makes it buildable)
  • import CVE-2009-0217 patch from Debian by Henning Makholm (fixes security issue)
  • introduce thumbnailer, drop gconf schema (makes it usable)
  • read file magic number to select unzipper (makes it better)
  • fix PKG_NAME in autogen (bikeshedding)
  • gitignore stuff to keep repository in clean state (bikeshedding)

About the magic number comparison, GIMP is able to load compressed xcf files with .xcf extension, the thumbnailer now does the same. Being able to stores bzip2ed or gziped xcf as .xcf files allows people to track their modified assets under the same name within a version control system whatever the compression picked up (other tools does the same like Blender with gziped .blend). Comments about the implementation would be appreciated.
