First preparatory patch makes it easier to add multiple major versions of

Second patch adds 1.5.13 recipe. This produces library named libpng15,
while
old 1.2.50 recipe produces libpng12. Some older programs (and their
recipes)
may fail to find newer library. So far I'm aware of one such case in
meta-openembedded; libsdl-image-1.2.10 needs update. I've already
submitted
patch for that one.
Overall, it's great to see the recipes updated, but we don't typically
keep the older versions of recipes around. So if you want to preserve
the older version, it should be moved meta-oe. The only case we keep
older recipes is for License changes from GPLv2 -> GPLv3 where it makes
sense.
So, the request would be a v2 that also removes the 1.2.50 recipe.
libpng has an entry in upstream_tracking.inc with a
RECIPE_NO_UPDATE_REASON of "1.4.3 and later changes the API and breaks
libmatchbox. Sticking with the 1.2.x series instead"
So if libmatchbox now builds with 1.5, we can remove the 1.2.x recipe
for good. Otherwise we may need both versions, and need to ensure
libmatchbox will use 1.2.x if it still requires it.
