 - PNG: Added new quantization method for indexed png format using hextree with full support for alpha
   channel. Also new method has some optimizations for color gradients common when using elevation based
-  rasters. By default old method using octree is used. (r1680, r1683, #477)

 - PNG: Added initial support for passing options to png writter like number of colors, transparency
   support, quantization method and possibly other in future using type parameter. For example
   "png8:c=128:t=1:m=h" limits palette to 128 colors, uses only binary transparency (0 - none,
   1 - binary, 2 - full), and new method of quantization using hextree (h - hextree, o - octree).
-  Existing type "png256" can be also written using "png8:c=256:m=o:t=2"  (r1680, r1683, #477)
