taking

work in progress using Eric's suggestion to piggyback on MMV's ImageInfo, ImageModel and License code; so far so good

current state, with link styles flattened (since they won't be clickable in the PNG :D)

Open questions for design:

should the CC/BY/SA icons reflect the image license or the text license? either is easy to implement (image is done; text can be hardcoded) but it's unclear from looking at and we may want to tweak it with a label
the author metadata may include links; as eric helpfully points out these will be all flattened by the PNGification anyway :D so I've stripped the visible formatting in the style. Is this fine or should we handle these links some other way, like by listing the URL?
not a question per se, but we should find and test some images with large author lists to confirm the styles are sensible :D

Happy with the current results after last checkin. Note T423210 is the followup with the tinting fix for the wordmark and CC icons!
