 This patch adds the capability for theme developers to use maximum, fixed
 or automatic header image sizes.

 HEADER_IMAGE_WIDTH and HEADER_IMAGE_HEIGHT can be set to 3 different
 states:
 fixed - "940" - like the old feature. all images get resized to a fixed
 size
 max - "max:940" - smaller images are not resized
 auto - "auto" - no images are changed

 At the moment the if clause handling if the image has to be resized and
 how is very complex. I can simplify it very easily, but didnt due to the
 possibility that we could at a "manual/automatic cropping" button or just
 change some conditions to manual cropping if it "feels" better. Needs some
 testing first..

 The patch adds 4 new functions which - in future - will be used to return
 or echo the header_image's width and height:
 get_header_image_width() - header_image_width()
 get_header_image_height() - header_image_height()

 If the whole uploading process would be filterable I would add this as a
 plugin, but I think it would be nice to have this feature in the core as
 well.

 It is not ready for release yet though. E.g. need to add an explanation of
 the 3 states to be displayed to the user.
