John Bowler 8f381901e3 [libpng16] Avoid up-cast warnings in pngvalid.c. On ARM the alignment
requirements of png_modifier are greater than that of png_store and as a
consequence compilation of pngvalid.c results in a warning about increased
alignment requirements because of the bare cast to (png_modifier*). The code
is safe, because the pointer is known to point to a stack allocated
png_modifier, but this change avoids the warning.

  Fixed default behavior of ARM_NEON_API. If the ARM NEON API option was
    compiled without the CHECK option it defaulted to on, not off.

  Check user callback behavior in pngunknown.c. Previous versions compiled
    if SAVE_UNKNOWN was not available but did nothing since the callback
    was never implemented.

  Merged pngunknown.c with 1.7 version and back ported 1.7 improvements/fixes

Changes since the last public release (1.6.6):
Version 1.6.7 [September 30, 2013]
Revised unknown chunk code to correct several bugs in the NO_SAVE_/NO_WRITE
combination
Allow HANDLE_AS_UNKNOWN to work when other options are configured off. Also
fixed the pngminim makefiles to work when $(MAKEFLAGS) contains stuff
which terminates the make options (as by default in recent versions of
Gentoo).
