Bug#717818: Implemented for multiple image formats, except .ICO



Hi Helmut,

A new check covers several image formats and names:

There are two tags. The standard one is pedantic.

This is where the second tag comes in. Image files whose names suggest
another format are misleading. They are tagged at the slightly higher
severity wishlist. It works across all formats, not just PNG.

I did not implement .ICO because it is, or has evolved into, a
container format that can also contain PNG images.

Kind regards
