Creates a new pixbuf by loading an image from a file.
The file format is detected automatically.
If `NULL` is returned, then error
will be set. Possible errors are:
- the file could not be opened - there is no loader for the file's format - there is not enough memory to allocate the image buffer - the image buffer contains invalid data
The error domains are `GDK_PIXBUF_ERROR` and `G_FILE_ERROR`.
The image will be scaled to fit in the requested size, optionally preserving the image's aspect ratio.
When preserving the aspect ratio, a `width` of -1 will cause the image to be scaled to the exact given height, and a `height` of -1 will cause the image to be scaled to the exact given width. When not preserving aspect ratio, a `width` or `height` of -1 means to not scale the image at all in that dimension. Negative values for `width` and `height` are allowed since 2.8.
