note 80461 added to function.imagestring

I've taken the code of Epidemiah and improved the code so that the function now can handle generic position commands (as e.g. left / bottom) or int-values as left/top position of the text to write (with positive values used as left/top position and negative from right/bottom). So e.g. imageWriteString($img, $font, $text, $color, -10,-10); writes the text so that there is 10 px space to right and bottom border of image. Hope this is useful. Could be optimized and checked in detail, but works fine for me.
