    M create_captcha.php

  Log Message:
  -----------
  Fix captcha HTTP 500 with ImageMagick >= 6.9.13-45 (empty EXIF in cap_bg.jpg)

cap_bg.jpg carried an empty EXIF profile (6-byte header + 14-byte TIFF
body with zero entries). ImageMagick 6.9.13-45+ fails WriteImage() when
SyncExifProfile() rejects an EXIF body shorter than 16 bytes, without
raising an exception, so Imagick::getImageBlob() throws the generic
"empty or invalid image" error and create_captcha.php returns 500.

- strip all metadata from cap_bg.jpg losslessly (jpegtran -copy none;
  pixels unchanged)
- call stripImage() after loading the background so any future
  background file is safe regardless of its metadata

Fixes ehb54/ultrascan-tickets#1057
