Bug description:  imagecopyresized's return value not documented

Description:
------------
The documentation page for imagecopyresized does not describe the return
value other than stating it is a boolean value.

If this is an indicator of success or failure of the operation, then
clients of this function must be programmed to behave correctly in case of
failure. To do this, we must also know what situations will cause it to
fail, and what side effects (if it is not atomic) occur if the operation
fails.


I tried to point out the clients of this function need to be aware of
these issues in the comments for that page, but one of the editors decided
to take my points as a question, not as raising a "gotcha" for the users of
the function... So now im posting it here.

Reproduce code:
