Imagemagick will need a new major bump

I achieved to get imagemagick 7 build for experimental (it is only on salsa not
uploaded yet).

Every package include a version in the package name (except legacy package name
and perl*) so I plan to do some step by step migration, because it is mainly
coinstallable with imagemagick 6.
- upload to experimental a version with perl and without legacy name
- migrate perl and versioned package
- add to experimental libmakickgwand-dev libmagick++-dev  libmagickcore-dev
- migrate package that depends on libmakickgwand-dev libmagick++-dev
libmagickcore-dev (every thing that build against imagemagick) to imagemagick7
- add to experimental imagemagick package
- migrate imagemagick package to unstable

What do you think of this plan ? From a security point of view it is better to
go to imagemagick7 (so important severity)

I expect breakage only on the last step. See
https://imagemagick.org/script/porting.php

ftpmaster it need more work because it will need three manual step.
