bug#25967: [PATCH] Add support for ImageMagick 7 (Bug#25967)

[Karl Otness <karl@karlotness.com>]

I hate to say this, but it looks like the modified patch might not be
linking up quite right. It seems like the issue has to do with the new
"IMAGEMAGICK7" prefix for EMACS_CHECK_MODULES. Some of the downstream
tests, specifically looking for MagickRelinquishMemory try to use the
IMAGEMAGICK_CFLAGS which won't be defined if configure finds version
7. The test will then fail ImageMagick and it won't be linked.

I don't remember exactly, but I think this may have been the reason
why I had initially set it up to use the same HAVE_IMAGEMAGICK prefix
for both pkg-config checks, and then manually added the
IMAGEMAGICK_MAJOR definition to sort out which was actually found.

Using separate test variables can probably work, but will require
updating the AC_CHECK_FUNCS tests later on. When I put together the
initial patch, I think I wanted to touch as little of configure as
possible, so I left those alone.

It may be simpler to go back to using the same IMAGEMAGICK prefix for
both package checks, but I agree it is nicer to not re-use the same
pkg-config variables.

Thanks for helping get this checked in.
