Subject: [PATCH] Make naturalWidth & naturalHeight return non-0 when the image
 lacks a dimension

Unfortunately the more correct behavior was never implemented widely enough and web content started to depend on these properties being non-0.

We take special care that dimensions that are missing do not get divided by density so we return the same values for them as CSS (300 by 150).
