Add Imagick extension

[fifle]

Feature Request

It looks like Imagick extension is missing for now. I'm using a library for generating QR-code in my Laravel application and it requires the support of Imagick for generating QR-code images in PNG format (I also need it for user to be downloadable, so it's really needed).

It looks like it's a tiny extension and won't bring troubles with issues with lambda.

Hi @f3l1x ! Is there any chance to get this update for upcoming releases? Heroku is closing it's free tier soon and I'm looking forward for moving to Vercel this month. So maybe, it will be possible due to adding Imagick extension into your runtime :)

Hi @testliopavel, I will take a look. I hope imagick will be not 20 MB binary :-D

There is a little problem with imagick on AmazonLinux 2 with Remi's RPM repository (https://blog.remirepo.net/pages/PECL-extensions-RPM-status).

According to Bref (alternative tool for serverless PHP), there is so much dependencies for Imagick extension. Vercel Serverless Functions have hard limit of 50Mb. In this case we'd need to use another AWS lambda layer.

Anyway, I am still investigating how to do it. But I have no ETA at this moment.

I've been using Imagick to generate thumbnails so maybe this issue has resolved itself with time.

Hi @tao, can you share little sneak peak how you use it?
