Use imagick instead of command line for imagemagick

Reported by joydev on 27 Mar 2014 04:54 UTC as Trac ticket #1489734

Imagick is a native php extension to create and modify images using the ImageMagick API. This extension requires ImageMagick version 6.2.4+ and PHP 5.1.3+, which should not be a problem since Roundcube will drop PHP 5.2 support.

It should be used instead of executing the "convert" command since it is faster and safer, and we are not using advanced functions which is only available using command line.

You can refer to the example script in this page. There is no need to clone the image as the example though. To set color space (if required) use Imagick::setImageColorspace.

Could you create a patch/pull request? Note: this extension might be disabled, so a fallback to the old method will be still needed.
