Function cApiImgScale

Scales (or crops) an image. If scaling, the aspect ratio is maintained.

This function chooses the best method to scale, depending on the system environment and/or the parameters.

Returns the path to the scaled temporary image.

Note that this function does some very poor caching; it calculates an md5 hash out of the image plus the maximum X and Y sizes, and uses that as the file name. If the file is older than 10 minutes, regenerate it.
