functions. They unnecessarily duplicate png_set_filler() and png_set_add_alpha()
which now work properly with 16-bit images.

input that was made in version 1.6.17beta01, to preserve legacy
behavior even though it was incorrect.  Instead, added new API
png_set_filter_16() and png_set_add_alpha_16() that set a flag to
make png_do_read_filter() interpret the filler bytes properly.

replacing the value that is illegal in the PNG spec, in both signed and
unsigned values, with 0. Illegal unsigned values (anything greater than or equal
to  0x80000000) can still pass through, but since these are not illegal
in ANSI-C (unlike 0x80000000 in the signed case) the checking that
occurs later can catch them (John Bowler).
