Add a wrapper to manage errors in cv2.imread()

Sometimes a random failure can be raised by cv2.imread() even though the
template exists and is a valid png file. This seems to come from libpng,
not from OpenCV.

This has been identified in other projects, but doesn't seem to have been
addressed/fixed. See the links below as references to this same problem:

4) https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=34640

This case can be identified by two means:
1) Grabbing the output to stderr. Iit will contain the string
   "libpng error: incorrect data check"
2) Checking the value returned by this function is None

This commit adds a thin wrapper _cv2_imread() that calls cv2.imread() and
makes sure it behaves as it should.
