Why wouldn't we grep for "Not a PNG" as well? Also, Uli stated that it
might not be the best idea to rely on the error messages from libpng,
since they might change. WDYT?

Using png_sig_cmp allow us to be perfectly sure that the issue is with
the file/stream, and to return an appropriate error code to the user,
without gambling.
