PNG driver can create world files with .wld suffix and read world files
with .wld, .tfw, and .tifw. For GIF .wld suffix supported for reading
and creation. For JPEG files .jgw and .wld suffixes supported for
reading and .wld for creation. This information missed from drivers
documentation, I have fix it.
