SMNTCS Deactivate image compression

Deactivate the WordPress default image compression which got introduced with WordPress 2.5.

Purpose

By default, WordPress compress every uploaded image by 90%. In combination with other image optimisation tools, this can lead to pixelated images. This plugin deactivates the default image compression to avoid this issue.
